No More Mediocre

Praise for No More Mediocre:
“No More Mediocre unpacks the complex history of unpaid labor and how it continues to shape today’s relationships. With storytelling and candid interviews, Danger reveals the unspoken dynamics—like weaponized incompetence—that silently erodes connection and equity. This book challenges readers to stop operating on assumptions and instead build partnerships rooted in clarity, communication, and shared responsibility.”
—Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play

“In No More Mediocre, Laura Danger masterfully cuts through the hypocrisies and indignities systemically woven into our private lives, offering a clear and courageously defiant roadmap for a better world, fueled by better relationships. Taken together, her actionable tips are nothing short of revolutionary. As accessible as it is transformative, this is essential reading from a leading voice in the movement for domestic equity.”
—Rose Hackman, author of Emotional Labor

“No More Mediocre is both a mirror and a map, naming the inequities embedded in households across our nation while also offering practical tools to create something better. With care, clarity, and hopeful imagination, Laura Danger shows us how to dismantle harmful dynamics, realign our closest relationships with our deepest values, and build homes that reflect the kind of world we all deserve.”
—Anna Malaika Tubbs, New York Times bestselling author of The Three Mothers and Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us

“A sharp and timely proposal for how readers can recognize and reimagine the invisible work that keeps our lives, relationships, and communities running.

In response, she offers practical solutions and a vision of love and community grounded in collaboration and care.”
