I’d like to believe most parents are trying their best with what they have. I also want to believe that bc we are human beings, there’s no perfect family. The beginning of the book feels very finger-pointing-y and gives me the impression that “there’s a perfect family out there if only your parents tried hard enough”. The chapters about externalizers vs internalizers are informative and practical.

the chapter about democracy is so western-centric it’s funny

boring…should have read the synopsis but i aint no quitter

Stopped at chapter 5 cuz I’m so tired of hearing about this outdated case study

I feel like I’ve been reading this for 10 years it’s so long

Did not need to know how babies are delivered in extensive details but here we are lol

My goal for these last 2 months is to read my unfinished books instead of starting new ones but lo and behold Gladwell came to speak this one day and he reminded me of this book so here we are
