The highly anticipated, essential roadmap to caring for, understanding, comforting, and bonding with infants and toddlers—from the beloved parenting consultant and #1 podcaster.

Most parenting books focus on what to do with and for your baby. Baby Person invites you to reconsider how you see your child in the first place: rather than a blank slate you must mold and shape, your baby is a thinking, expressive person, capable of being in relationship with you from birth. In pioneering infant and child expert Janet Lansbury’s warm and eminently helpful hands, however, this is more than just an ideology; Baby Person makes it actionable.    

Drawing on the central tenets of the RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) philosophy, as well as Lansbury's more than thirty years working with families and being a parent herself, Baby Person gives parents the tools to deal confidently with the pressure points they face every day—from helping a child sleep peacefully and eat readily to encouraging them to accept and even appreciate boundaries. With sound advice on everything from tantrums to potty training, Lansbury guides caregivers through these early years with tools that alleviate anxiety and promote joyful connection, giving parents the permission to worry less and enjoy the relationship—and their role in it—more.

A guide sure to be cherished by readers everywhere, Baby Person will reframe the way a whole generation relates to the little people in their lives, becoming the calm and emotionally present caregivers they want to be now and beyond the tender first few years.

Stop postponing the life you want. Start living more fully today.

#1 USA Today Bestseller

You weren’t put on this earth to work a job you hate for 30 years just to earn the right to stop living for the next 30.

Yet that's exactly the deal most of us have accepted. Work hard. Sacrifice now. Save aggressively. And one day, at 65, you'll finally get to live the life you want.

But here’s what that plan doesn’t account the future you’re saving for may not look the way you’re imagining. Your health might not cooperate. The relationships you’re neglecting right now may not be there waiting for you. The life you keep deferring has a way of not showing up on schedule.

In Let’s Retire Retirement, veteran financial advisor and CADRE co-founder Derek Coburn makes a provocative, data-backed case for how not to retire at 65, and instead, how to build a life you won’t want to escape from.

This isn’t about working until you drop. It’s about designing a life so fulfilling, so aligned with what actually matters, that you will never feel the need to walk away from it.

Here’s the part no one talks

When you plan to do meaningful work longer—not because you have to, but because you want to—something remarkable happens to your finances. The pressure to save unreasonable amounts right now drops dramatically. You reclaim cash flow. You reclaim time. And instead of hoarding your life for some future version of yourself who may never arrive, you get to start living with real presence today.

Present fulfillment and future financial security aren’t in conflict. They never were.

Inside this book, you’ll

Why traditional retirement planning is built on assumptions about the future that no one can accurately predict—and a more honest framework for financial security.How to be happy now, and later.How planning to work longer on your own terms can free up significant cash and time right now (and how to effectively use that surplus).Why people who plan to work longer need a fundamentally different financial strategy—including a surprising tax trap that catches most long-term earners off guard.Alternative paths that look nothing like traditional mini-retirements, sabbaticals, career pivots, and the growing “unretirement” movement.How to stop sacrificing the $50,000 moments—the everyday experiences you’d pay anything to relive—for a promise of happiness that keeps getting pushed further away.

Learn how to have more fun in life without guilt, without delay, and without waiting for permission from a distant future.

"Let’s Retire Retirement captures what so many of us have felt but struggled to articulate." — Daniel H. Pink, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Power of Regret

"A generous, actionable, and useful book." — Seth Godin, author of This Is Marketing

This is not a book about working until you die.

It’s a book about living a fulfilling life now and later.
