Resumen del Editor

The bestselling author of Alienated America traveled the country asking families and experts the same two questions: Why is parenting so hard now? And why are the results so bad?

Our culture tells parents there's one best way to raise kids: enroll them in a dozen activities, protect them from trauma, and get them into the most expensive college you can. If you can't do that, don't bother.

How is that going? Record rates of anxiety, depression, medication, debts, loneliness and more. In Family Unfriendly, bestselling author and Washington Examiner columnist Timothy P. Carney says it's time to end this failed experiment in overparenting.

Have more kids, have more fun, cancel the travel soccer games, let your kids wander off, and give them deeper sources of meaning than material success.

This is an old-fashioned view, but every day the evidence validates it. Drawing on rigorous research—both as a reporter and as a dad of six—Carney demonstrates why modern parenting is so misguided. The high standards set for modern American parenting are unrealistic and setting parents—and our kids—up to fail.

Researched over three years and written in between rec baseball games and church picnics where nobody was watching the kids, Family Unfriendly is deeply wise, energetically told, and destined to be the most consequential book about parenting in years.

Fantastic synopsis of why family life is so difficult today

Coming from a small family and having a large family - this book perfectly nailed down, with examples, why having a large family seems so difficult today. It helped me to understands why those who harshly criticize the large family, do so. I will listen to this book again and again and plan to buy a hard copy as well.

Extraordinary insight into our society

I have heard many points of information about the decline of love, sanity, family and happiness, but this is one of the most insightful analyses I have read. The author needs to be on TV too.Fantastic

Insightful, inspiring and very funny.

Listened to this book with my fiancée. The book is very insightful, thoughtful and a must read. We often laughed at the author’s dad jokes and will think about it as we settle down in the future to Bz”H (g-d willing) raise a beautiful family.

Very Insightful

This book is a great listen. The analysis about civilizational sadness towards the end was brilliant. It provided a lot of insight into many social issues.

Must listen for anyone with young kids or considering kids or not considering kids

His research backed hard truths were something everyone needs to hear- male or female, kids or no kids. This book supports all of my feelings about child bearing and rearing and it was comforting to know this message will be getting out to the larger population and hopefully grow more like minded parents. What important work! Thank you to the author for this important contribution to society!
