Everyday Blessing: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting

Summary: A Definite Re-Read!
Review: When I read it for the first time several years ago, it revealed incredible insights to me, as a potential parent. However, after recently becoming a parent-in-fact, I am mindfully unearthing the bookshelves to find this hidden treasure again. With a beginners mind, I approach this work with my little "zen master". Already 14months old, he is teaching me the wisdom of what I have missed: "Laughter" and the life lesson of "bye bye". Having a second copy will be a welcomed addition to our journey.

Summary: These folks obviously don't have children!
Review: While the ideas presented in this book are intriguing, their ideas are not for anyone who is at home with small children. Finding time to contemplate life and have the deep, fulfilling thoughts suggested by the authors may be possible, but only by someone who does not have great demands on their time. Too deep, too touchy-feely, too goody-goody, this book just comes off as being too good to be true. I wish I could get my money back.
