Story
Highlighting the fascinating link between a child’s neurological development and the way a parent reacts to misbehavior, No-Drama Discipline provides an effective, compassionate road map for dealing with tantrums, tensions, and tears - without causing a scene. Defining the true meaning of the “d” word (to instruct, not to shout or reprimand), the authors explain how to reach your child, redirect emotions, and turn a meltdown into an opportunity for growth.

Story
An insatiable need for sex and love. Periods of overeating or starving. A pattern of unstable and painful relationships. Does this sound painfully familiar? Trauma counselor Kelly McDaniel has seen these traits over and over in clients who feel trapped in cycles of harmful behaviors - and are unable to stop. Many of us find ourselves stuck in unhealthy habits simply because we don't see a better way. With Mother Hunger, McDaniel helps women break the cycle of destructive behavior by taking a fresh look at childhood trauma and its lasting impact.

Terrible reading
Reviewed: 07-18-24
The book is badly read, it makes you think the written version has the comas in all the wrong places and confusing periods with semi-colon… and worst the sound quality is poor with volume going up and down yet always in the hyper to very low range. The story is okish with some well know research and a lot of joy in trauma, while some of the practical advice for professional support reads like sound material and cites good research, a good part of it reads like a mistical practice that some may find useful, and some more like advice from your grandma. Yet all of distills some pleasure in painful relations and victimization.
The whole things is in a grey zone between sound professional therapeutic practice, self help, and supermarket science. I have read better than this, but some of it can be saved as good pages for a better book.

Story
Both a personal and general meditation on identity and belonging, Daniel J. Siegel’s book combines personal reflections with scientific discussions of how the mind, brain, and our relationships shape who we are. Weaving the internal and external, the subjective and objective, IntraConnected reveals how our culture may give us a message of separation as a solo, isolated self, but a wider perspective unveils that who we are may be something more―broader than the brain, bigger even than the body―and fundamental to social systems and the natural world.

A must read for the citizens of the future as it emerges
Reviewed: 05-18-24
I’ve read several books of the author before, yet I find this one and amazing synthesis of his life work.
As I read I found many authors I read before from many different domains. It was an amazing journey from the beginning to the end.
It helps INTEGRATE knowledge from different corners of the world, different disciplines, and different realms.
A guide to become a better human and a better agent in the universe.
It may be hard to read despite the simplicity with which all ideas are introduced and interwoven; the reason is “simply” the “complexity” of the the issues it addresses.

Good practical steps to develop your EQ
Reviewed: 04-24-24
I must confess I was put off by the start of the book. It felts like a lot of anecdotes that don’t build in a framework to increase EQ individually or in your organization.
Managing my emotions pause off :D!
After swallowing the intro - which I understand may help picture how each competency looks like in action - a simple short explanation of all four areas of competence along with assessment and exercises to develop them is found.
Furthermore at then you find some insights from ongoing research that I found particularly interesting and useful.
While i still prefer more formal approaches to learning from books I see how this style meets the needs of some people in business and may help spreading the word faster. I’d only be afraid that people stop reading after all the behavioral anecdotes/examples are completed.
In the end short as it is for such a complex topic it is still highly effective

Valuable lessons
Reviewed: 10-31-23
Despite the touchy feely and religious language the book sheds light on a number of well designed practices to ensure long term sustainable growth in business.
The author honestly states all the known issues to implement his advice, yet a lot of it remains too hard and complex to implement. The unanswered question remains what is the minimum required implementation to break through the inflection point when it starts to pay off.

Good read, no big discoveries
Reviewed: 02-02-23
The book walks you through the world of product management and does a good job to help product people make better use of data (collecting, analyzing, and using).
The occasional references to Pemdo are elegantly done and don’t pollute the writing.
If you are seeking to acquire new ideas on how to push your organization to become more product centric you will get quite some value.
If you’re willing to learn more about the product management role you’ll find it valuable only if you are a beginner.

I don’t think I learned too many new things with this book. I found I knew most of the techniques and the rest was common sense. Yet, spending the time to put this large collection of good ideas together, was worth every minute.
The author guides you on this journey and helps you be kind with yourself as you learn with your kids.

Ellen Galinsky has spent her entire career studying early childhood development, first at Vassar College, then for 25 years at the Bank Street College of Education, and for the past 20 years as the founder and now president of the Families and Work Institute.

Reviewed: 08-26-22
Unfortunately the book is trapped in the middle between an encyclopedic count on children development research, and a business type of of anecdotal and practical tips and frameworks.
I found it’s aim to provide well researched evidence fails completely; wasting words explaining how the researchers moved from here be university to the next instead of explaining the promociones of the different studies cited and it’s implications on either parenting or education or may the links of both.
On the other hand the anecdotes, stories and practical ideas for parenting and education are well written and easy to implement. This is the best part of the book and worth reading.
