And with my 2nd wind: books talk!

I finished Going to Pieces without Falling Apart yesterday at a marathon "study" session at Spyhouse. Basically, this book is super awesome. The amazon reviews summarize it better than I could. I'm struck how just in the last two weeks I have loved two books weaving psychology and Buddhism together. Food for thought, (or not, I guess!) I also re-read most of How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, which I don't know if I had finished before. It's got a lot of good advice but the format - lots of workbook-type activities, cartoons, bullet-point lists - isn't for me. After I got what there was to get out of that, I started my second time through Unconditional Parenting, my co-favorite book to recommend to new/expectant parents along with The Continuum Concept. I hope to finish that and my newly borrowed copy of Blink at the cabin this weekend. Then, I'll go back to reading what I'm told for the first time in years!
