great list! i recently enjoyed abigail shrier’s newest book, bad therapy. the content goes hand in hand with parenting, changing our own mindset/approach, parenting adolescents, sovereignty from systems. i read it before haidt’s newest and they went together nicely 😊

True wisdom here.

Thank you for this post. : )

Although not a parenting book, I’m thoroughly enjoying my quiet mornings reading The Count of Monte Cristo.

I like to think that I’m setting a good example for my children that we don’t have to start of the day with phones in hand.

I’ve read half of these before and they are super good, I agree! I love your description of diligent early morning reading and deep focus- I’m inspired, thank you!!

This is not my field of expertise at all but I am surprised there are not books about grandparenting. That involves a different set of skills yet the influence of older members of a family upon the direction of children can be very illuminating.

We’re just back from 18mo living in traditional villages in South America and Africa and I saw first hand what Michaeleen Doucleff wrote about in Hunt Gather Parent. I’ve just published a piece about parentification vs infantilisation which is very much on this theme: https://guenbradbury.substack.com/p/parentification-or-infantilisation?
