and My Other Experiments in Everyday Life - Abandon Self-Control
and My Other Experiments in Everyday Life - Abandon Self-Control

Review:This title appeared as a recommendation in an article in The Christian Science Monitor, so I assumed it might be important. But I haven't learned anything new. I recently read The Shelter of Each Other : Rebuilding Our Families by Dr. Mary Pipher (1996) which was much more influential and at least written by someone in the field of mental health. Read more

Stumbling on Happiness
Stumbling on Happiness

Review:The concept for this book is incredibly interesting - that we essentially can't judge what will make us happy, and the only way to do really get those things that will truly make us happy is to judge the happiness others gain by their experiences. Gilbert's insight is equally matched by his sense of dry pan humor that moves this book along and pulls even the least interested ready to the end of the book. If you've ever wondered about the psychology of happiness, this book is excellent. Read more

How We Hurt Our Kids When We Treat Them Like Grown-Ups

Review:Leonard Sax has the experience and credentials to support this timely work. He effectively identifies and addresses social, educational, and behavioral issues of children and connects these factors back to the home. The emphasis of this book is not putting blame on parents. The focus is on identifying current factors, explaining how the situations developed, and suggesting what can be done about it. This book is written in a clear manner for a general audience. It is the first book I have come... Read more
