Summery of 'How to Talk'
If you listened to 'How to Talk', you don't need this one. A lot of stuff are the same.

For practical applications
This book is by far the best parenting book I have read. Many parenting books talk about why children behave and talk in certain ways without recommendations on what to do. This book is full of practical applications. I put ticket only liked various demonstrations of how things typically go versus what we could do differently. I would recommend this book to anyone who are struggling as to how to talk to their kids.

Great condensed content and cases, it seemed my own story!
Don't think this book is incomplete because it lasts only one hour! The theory is easily explained as a case studio. I used the techniques the very same day I heard it. Now I am listening a second time, and my wife is too.

very short version
I was surprised to find this book so short. I seems to be a condensed version of a longer book, that I wish I had bought instead.
