Gives definite tools in which to clarify and establish one's own ideals and ways to apply them to our everyday living. Offers insights and gentle advice on child-rearing. Asks us to look into ourselves; to define what we want, and how we want to live our life, and what is important. This alone is bound to have a positive effect on raising our children. I think this book is compatible with any religion and gently accepts and respects one's own individuality, yet is able to wisely advise and provide ways to cope and look at things in a new perspective. Highly recommended...for men and women alike!

This book is very practical. I found the philosophy agreeable to mine, but also flexible to different values and personal experiences. For example it has many "tools" for examining your own experiences which lead to practical suggestions about how to change your methods. It helps you understand you plans for your parenting and to look at how you are and are not meeting your own expectations. It is applicable to ages from tiny infants to teenagers (a rare quality in a parenting book). I hope you try this book, I think you will find it helpful for yourself as well as your children and family.
