The book gives a lot more detailed information and a lot of examples and ideas about incorporating these concepts into families in places like the US that are in may be doing the opposite.
- hnuser847 5y agoIs Hunt, Gather, Parent worth reading? I'm curious to check it out but I'm worried that it will be another book that falls prey to the "noble savage" literary trope[1]. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NobleSavage https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NobleSavage
- gregwebs 5y agoIf I could only read one parenting book I would probably choose this one. Actually I listened to it on Audible. The author only looks at one hunter gatherer group. The rest are really just rural communities that have maintained a community and cultural wisdom that supports raising children. In either case the focus is on learning from these other cultures about parenting.
