If Aristotle's Kid Had an iPod: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Parents
If you want to help your children become the best version of themselves... READ THIS BOOK! --Matthew Kelly, New York Times Bestselling AuthorThere's no better authority on human nature than Aristotle, and his recipe for finding lasting fulfillment in life has never been more timely. Conor Gallagher takes this ancient wisdom and applies it to contemporary child-rearing with clarity and humor. Vivid examples and descriptions of recent research make this book a pleasure to read. If you plan to read just one book on how to raise confident, virtuous, and well-rounded children make it this one. --Laura L. Garcia, PhD., Scholar in Residence, Philosophy Department, Boston CollegeConor Gallagher has written a wonderful book -- and by that I mean it is both inspired by wonder, and it encourages wonder in the parents to whom it is addressed. He knows that you can't talk reasonably about children unless you have a sense for the wonder (and the dangers) of their nature, and of the virtuous happiness which perfects that nature. He brings Aristotle -- and Tolkien, and Star Wars -- into a lively conversation with modern parents, in language that is precise, straightforward, and winsome. --Anthony Esolen, author of Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of your Child
