What happened to the 9.99 price for the Kindle???? I would buy it if it was the 9.99 which is what most of the Kindle books go for. Is there something extra special about this book??? Is it bigger than most???
Disappointing…..

The first thing that struck me after only reading 3 pages of this book was that the author had not checked his facts. He gives a case study of a boy who was supposedly 8 years ago approximately 15 years ago, and who supposedly had an X Box at the time, which would have been around 1995. X Boxes did not even exist at that time! They were introduced in 2001.

We live in a world where too much of everything is the norm and where, unfortunately, simplicity is seen by far too many people as an ‘alternative’ way of living rather than as a mindful approach to life. Simplicity Parenting: Using the Extraordinary Power of Less to Raise Calmer, Happier, and More Secure Kids is an important addition to the growing body of books and programs that promote a common-sense-approach to parenting.
I recently browsed through this book because a friend who had bought it for her daughter (with three children) asked for my opinion. Simplicity Parenting should be compulsory reading for many parents, especially for those who may blame society or lack of discipline or whatever else is convenient to blame for their children’s undesirable behavior.
As an author who has written a book about how to `declutter’ and `detox’ the mind with the help of simple and mindful strategies, I couldn’t help thinking that Simplicity Parenting is a wonderful companion to my own book (and vice versa).
