This shift in viewpoint will also help you gain more patience as a parent, respond with less reactivity, and-most importantly-cultivate more joy together as a family.
People are hungry to live a life they love. Quick fixes don't work. Where do you get honest information that works and can hold them in good stead for their whole life, and which they can pass onto everyone else in their life and around the globe? This book offers them this. It is generational change that is required. You start from the ground up. Doing this could change the very fabric of our lives and help change become second nature to all of us rather than something we avoid because we do not understand it. It would also have a huge impact on society at large and we could start teaching children these concepts from the time they are born and then right throughout their life.Second edition April 22 - First edition 2007.
