Is 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].

- 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.
