Title: Opium for the me-generation
Product review: Unlike most scientists, who take the data and then draw conclusions, Ms. Harris has a conclusion and then picks and chooses data to support it. This book ought to make her money in a culture where people would rather blame someone else or take a quick pill than take the hard road of responsibility, dedication, and perseverance. The truth is, our children are a complex mixture of genes, parental input, socio-economic factors, and social/peer input. If you take the aggregate of child behavioral studies you will reach this conclusion. As parents, we are our children's teachers, and we should not hide from our role or the responsibility it demands. Raising children requires sacrifice, hard-work, dedication, and responsibility. But every smile makes that work easy. Don't hide behind a pop-psychology book: go spend some time with your kids.
