Augustin Baker

Augustin Baker, Ph.D., is a renowned author and psychologist based in Seattle, Washington. As of 2024, he has recently published "Embracing Change: Adaptation in Modern Family Life," a book that delves into the evolving dynamics within families and how they adapt to modern challenges. His work often centers around the balance between personal growth and maintaining family cohesion.

Augustin's previous publication, "Bridging Generations: Grandparents and Grandchildren in the Digital Age" (a selection featured by the Book-of-the-Month Club), explores the unique relationship between grandparents and their grandchildren in an era dominated by technology. This book won the prestigious Intergenerational Studies Award in 2019 for its insightful look at digital literacy across generations.

In "The Path Unseen: Supporting Young Adults in Finding Their Voice" (2020), Augustin coined the term "pathfinders" to describe young adults navigating their way through the complexities of early adulthood. He offers practical advice on how parents can support their children during this crucial phase, which has resonated deeply with many readers.

His latest book, "Voices Within: Understanding the Inner Dialogues of Adolescents," was highlighted as the "Talk of the Town" in Time Magazine. In it, Augustin provides fresh perspectives on the often misunderstood dialogues between teenagers and themselves, helping parents gain a deeper understanding of their children's internal struggles. Reviewing in The Seattle Times, Jane Doe commented, "Augustin Baker’s work serves as both a comfort and a guiding light for anyone navigating the tumultuous waters of adolescent psychology."

"The Brother Bond," one of his earlier works, was praised in The Guardian for its profound insight into sibling relationships, whether one has brothers or not. Essence Magazine remarked about his book "Respecting Boundaries: Building Harmonious Relationships with Relatives" that it should be "required reading before any family gathering." And his exploration into the complexities of father-son relationships in "Silent Strengths: What Sons Learn from Fathers" was recommended by Psychology Today as "essential reading for all fathers-to-be."

Augustin's newest venture, "Celebrating Differences: Acceptance and Growth Through Everyday Conversations," published by Penguin Random House, aims to foster greater acceptance and empathy in daily interactions among family members.
