Everyone needs to read this

Let me start by saying that I do not normally read non fiction. I usually find most of it boring and/or redundant. I saw this book in a book store and didn’t buy it but made a special trip back for it. I haven’t been able to put it down since then and just finished it. It’s eye-opening. It’s well written and doesn’t just repeat the same concept for hundreds of pages. He is objective and clear with his ideas, opinions, and facts. I love how he ties concepts to his personal experiences. He explores many different facets of the attention problem. The author ties the ideas together so well and….I could go on and on. I ordered a copy on Amazon & had it shipped to my son. As a parent or potential parent, you need to read this. As a human being, you need to read this. I will recommend it to everyone I know. Where do I sign up for the movement??
