Evelyn Hawthorne writes about the skills school skips: clear thinking, financial fluency, and emotional literacy. Her work blends behavioral science with practical, plain-spoken tools that help students and parents make better choices in the real world. Over the past several years she has designed learning labs and workshops for classrooms and early-career programs, building usable habits around money, attention, and decision-making. She is the author of Everyday Signals and The Price of Forgetting, and is known for turning dense research into frameworks people can apply the same day. Evelyn's guiding belief is simple: a good education teaches you what to think about; a great education teaches you how to think-and how to live with judgment, curiosity, and steadiness.
