Insightful

This was chosen for a parenting book club read. I'm only 30 pages into it, but it's 30 are like another book's 100. Every paragraph has something insightful worth stopping to reflect on. Within the first 30 pages it's not at all a How-To guide to parenting but rather discussion on psychological topics that effect who we as adults are, and how our personality connects with the child (or can disconnect). Wonderful wonderful!

Insight and Inspiration for Parents and Parents to Be

This is THE book to begin and end with ( with a generous dose of neurocardiology journals and laughter meditation practice along the way ) to liberate the spirits of our future.

Brilliant writer, unorthodox and insightful.

I'm a big fan of Joseph Chilton Pearce. I've given this book as a gift to new parents, most of whom were inspired and blown away by his ideas. Even embracing just a few of his recommendations helped me IMMENSELY with parenting my daughter, now almost 18. He's definitely a scientist of the mystical variety, and his insights require a "leap of faith" that there is much more to reality - and child-rearing - that what our often toxic culture usually suggests.
