This book is extremely practical, concise, validating and constructive. It is the first book my husband has ever agreed to read and appreciated as useful. It will complement anyone learning DBT skills for themselves or the family, as the focus is on acceptance while also pursuing changes, validating feelings but not behaviors, and prioritizing connection vs correction or control. I found especially valuable that it actually “goes there” to acknowledge what you are likely feeling and dealing with on serious issues like disordered eating, self harm, delinquency and affects on siblings. A lot of teen emotional dysregulation parenting self help books stop short of giving actual advice when things get real bad, and just say, “go consult a professional.” By articulating so many of the things I see, feel, and think daily, it made me feel seen and helped me believe that I’m not imagining how extreme my kid is, and also, I truly am doing the best I can even while I can improve.

Listen to this to find more quiet

Revisado: 06-22-22

In this book, readers/listeners are gently guided by the authors on a wide ranging journey to better understand what quiet is, why we need more if it, and what we can do to have more of it. “Golden” accomplishes a feat of modern nonfiction publishing: a highly intellectual, deeply researched, philosophical, aspirational concept book that manages to stay accessible, lean, fairly unpretentious, and above all, refreshing and useful. It’s not a self help book, but it contains many intriguing, very carefully chosen, and realistic suggestions. I will talk about them with people and I will try some. While I wish the text dove deeper into the challenges around informational, auditory and internal “noise” for families, child development and education, the content is relevant to so many life contexts, I think anyone can find relevance for themselves, their work, and their communities here.

Superb story and production, addictive and tearful. Loved it, thank you. A pleasure to move my mind to such expansive places in this time of physical confinement.
