The Secret Life of Babies
Based on years of clinical and scientific research into health, this book explores the roots of society's challenges around birth, love, and violence.
Some of the questions this book explores are:
What are babies telling us about who we are today?
Are our brains shaped by our experiences in the womb and at birth?
Do drug addiction and suicide have any connection to how we are born?
Is it really possible to create a non-violent world?
Some of the solutions this book offers are:
A step-by-step process for repairing challenging pre-and postnatal experiences for people of any age, easy-to-implement practical tools for understanding what babies are telling us when they don't have all the words, real-life examples of how people are transforming the effect less-than-ideal beginnings have had on their health, even later in life, and
suggestions on how cultivating peaceful, compassionate people begins with the way children are conceived.

Great idea - some factual.
Some concepts way out of this world stuff!
Personally, feel there is a connection between artistic creativity and human conception.
On a VIA rail out of Toronto once watched a baby attempting to dismantle then eat a mobile phone!
A definite market for some sweet dessert spot to bake an edible one!
Deep and thoughtful book aside, enjoy observing babies trying to make sense of this world...

I will probably read it many times
I absolutely loved this book. Gave me a good look at what it feels like to be a baby how intune they are with themselves and the world around them. It also gave me an amazing tool that we already know but sometimes forget.
