John Bradshaw
The utter atrocities of Nazism have shown us clearly what the inherent potential of destruction in the parenting rules we have been using for the last 150 years. These rules are non-democratic. They are based on inequality of power and unequal rights. They promote the use and ownership of some people by others and teach the denial and repression of emotional vitality and spontaneity. They glorify obedience, orderliness, logic, rationality, power and male supremacy. They are flagrantly anti-life.
John Bradshaw, Bradshaw on the Family: A New Way of Creating Solid Self-Esteem

Daren Martin
When a big vision meets a dysfunctional system, the dysfunctional system wins every time. Fix the system and success will flourish!
