Unconditional Parenting. Another great book, this time in the realm of shifting our parenting paradigm away from rewarding and punishing, toward open communication and consistent displays of genuine love. I found this book so compelling and was even able to see the author give a lecture on the same topic. If you have ever felt like punishments were a little off kilter with your values or that "good job" was becoming a watered down mantra, this book is a good choice to read.
Affluenza. Totally fabulous, if not depressing book. Really opens your eyes to the "disease" of wanting to consume more things vs wanting more time to develop ourselves, spend with family, cultivate LIFE. Things often being the winner, we are suffering the consequences. Affluenza offers some great ideas to cure ourselves and to prevent further progression of the disease. Warning: you may find yourself very disturbed and judgemental next time you see someone driving a Lexus SUV with vanity plates...
