Shallow and depressing . I got this book because I enjoy good literature and the reviews were decent. I know some people say this writer is gifted, but I don't see it. I thought it was a pretentious, depressing piece of crap. The characters were full of self-loathing and the "bright ending" didn't redeem anything, not the main character or the book

How to destroy your relationship with your kids . Regrettably, I bought this book (for one cent) based on the strong reviews.  I will never put so much credence in reviews again.  This would definitely not be one that you would thumb through at the bookstore and buy.  The author appears to have been introduced to child psychology about five minutes before writing this book.  His methodology is extremely juvenile and naive.  His whole approach is to have an arsenal of canned phrases that you tell your kid for various circumstances.      This doesn't sound like a bad thing at first until you find out what unimaginative over-simplistic blabber that "Chick" offers.  I could point out samples from every page of the first 25 that I read and the dozen or so others that I then skimmed through.  Just quoting this pansy-ass fluff turns my stomach.  Here is a story he tells a speaker who was distracted by a couple of kids talking at a lecture...     "Frowning, he looked at them and very quietly said 'I'm feeling distracted by your behavior.  Please make a different choice.' By telling these students to make a different choice the speaker used language that communicated respect.  His message informed them 'I see you as responsible for your own actions.  You control your behavior.  You choose your responses to life.'    Every page has this same sickening tone to it.  If you want to avoid reality and miss the opportunities to affect your children in a way that builds self-esteem and confidence in them with real heart to heart interaction and instead gum them up with garbage talk then this book is for you.  Otherwise, to quote the author "PLEASE MAKE A DIFFERENT CHOICE" and find a better book or just use your own intuition and common sense.  This book teaches you how to destroy relationships by talking in mumbo jumbo out of the side of your mouth, while trying to keep a straight face.  A one star rating gives this comic book way too much credit.
