This is a wonderful, easy-to-read and entertaining book that explains Aristotle's writings and applies them to modern parenting. I'm buying a couple more for holiday gifts.1) My husband read it *unasked* (he normally does not read parenting books) and I overheard him recommending it to someone. How could he not, with references to Star Wars characters, Lord of the Rings characters, the Dog Whisperer, and Zeigfreid and Roy? Not to mention The Marshmallow Test, the Zimbardo experiment (the Stanford prison), and the Milgram Experiment (the shock one). It's just a fun read!2) Like another reviewer, I broke out the highlighter and the pen, and ended up writing a few notes on a blank page. It's that good.3) The author is Catholic, and the book is consistent with Catholicism, but book is not about interpreting Aristotle through a Catholic lens. This book is for all engaged parents, and especially for those who are trying to deal with raising kids who are heavily marketed to in our current grow-up-too-soon and consumerism culture.
