Jessica Lahey appeared on The Rich Roll Podcast on November 30, 2023, in an episode titled How To Be A Better Parent: A Primer On Mindful Parenting, where she discussed strategies for mindful parenting and education. During the interview, Jessica Lahey discussed Make It Stick by Peter C. Brown, Henry L. Roediger III, and Mark A. McDaniel. She brought up the publication during a discussion about learning and cognitive development, describing it as a fantastic book where readers can learn all about the concept of desirable difficulties. By recommending the text, she pointed listeners toward scientifically grounded methods for improving memory, retention, and effective learning habits. Her mention of the work supported her overarching message about education and parenting, emphasizing the value of employing evidence-based cognitive strategies rather than relying on intuitive but flawed approaches to studying and skill acquisition. Through this recommendation, she provided her audience with a concrete literary resource designed to deepen their understanding of how the human brain successfully encodes, retains, and retrieves information over long periods of time in educational and everyday contexts.

“Jessica Leahy is an educator and the New York Times bestselling author of The Gift of Failure and The Addiction Inoculation. So I wrote The Gift of Failure. It was my first book.”
“And those two chapters turned into four, which turned into six, which turned into the whole book. No ghostwriter, which turned into a New York Times bestselling book.”
“I will take it to heart and I will be able to be objective about it and I will use it and I won't make these same mistakes again. So when I handed in not only Gift of Failure, but then the next book”
