I loved this book. Oprah and Dr. Perry really make the impact of trauma and how to heal to live with the stories of real people including their own stories. I really liked the conversational style and way they put stuff. Super good.

Loved this story. Conneley has hit another home run. The interplay of character development, plot twists, and courtroom and investigative drama entertained from start to finish.

Most Thoughtful Book I've Read This Year

Revisado: 08-04-19

Garcia's theory about the primate alpha male origins of our religious and social institutions explains a wide range of modern phenomena including racism, elitism, xenophobia, terrorism, even economic exploitation. I love the references to the original sources too. I highly recommend the book to all deep thinkers involved in public social discourse.

Dr. Boz has a gift for translating the science of Keto and internal medicine into every day language. Her compassion for her mother and how that relates to the Keto diet and fasting inspired and encouraged me.

Enlightening and enjoyable.

Dr. Gopnik makes the point that raising children involves assisting them as best we can to grow according to their needs and the needs of their time not ours. I think she's identified an essential ingredient to good parenting.

Dr. Gopnik made it obvious that if every generation takes the stage of being in charge under unique circumstances. And, if those unique circumstances require unique adaptive ingenuity to survive. Then, the place of parenting in the overall socialization process does well to acknowledge and incorporate this philosophy.

Hence the title which reflects these ideas by way of metaphor. Parents should see themselves more as gardeners than carpenters. The former lets be to the plant but protects, nurtures, and cultivates it. Optimal growth is promoted by providing an optimal growth environment. So too with children growing to become adults in work and love.

The carpenter on the other hand has a finished product in mind where conformity to the plans is valued. The metaphor here involves one of nailing and sawing and sanding and polishing children into what we their parents have determined they should be.

A truly child centered approach includes recognizing and controlling for our own fears associated with personal ignorance of emerging technology.

It will be remembered that Erikson's message on identity formation emphasizes mastery of the technology of the society involved (his studies explored how adolescent Plains and Northwest Indian tribes were differentially impacted when westward expansion and waste destroyed the Buffallo on the plains and Fishing and Barter in the Noerthwest. A recent study has published this year indicating that our children today who had hand held devices in their hands from before they could talk actually have more capacity to delay gratification in the famous Marshmallow Test.

A great book which makes an extremely complex subject enjoyable and informative.
