Historia
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.

Historia
America is in crisis. Happiness is falling, loneliness and despair are rising, too many schools are riddled by fights and failure, crime is unacceptably high, and the American Dream is out of reach for millions. The problems are visible to us all, but virtually no one is talking about the solution that matters most: Marriage. New research by University of Virginia sociologist Brad Wilcox shows that Americans who get married and have children today are leading happier and more prosperous lives, on average, than men and women who are single and childless.

Historia
In virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z’s mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad and fearful of growing up. What’s gone wrong with America’s youth? In Bad Therapy, bestselling investigative journalist Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn’t the kids—it’s the mental health experts.

There is no bigger public health story now than the collapse in youth mental health. The numbers are terrifying and dominate our headlines. There has been much debate over how we got here, and what to do next, and bestselling author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is at the white-hot center of that discourse. Haidt has spent his career speaking wisdom and truth into the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the perfect storm contributing to a public health emergency for Gen Z.

Was an international plot underfoot to destroy the Vatican’s financial stability? If so, by whom, and to what end? There was one man who knew the answers to these and many other questions plaguing the post Conciliar Church.

Historia
Evelyn Waugh's most celebrated work is a memory drama about the intense entanglement of the narrator, Charles Ryder, with a great Anglo-Catholic family. Written during World War II, the story mourns the passing of the aristocratic world Waugh knew in his youth and vividly recalls the sensuous pleasures denied him by wartime austerities; in so doing it also provides a profound study of the conflict between the demands of religion and the desires of the flesh.

Resumen del Editor
A portrait of America's most interesting yet overlooked women.
In the midst of a historic "birth dearth," why do some 5 percent of American women choose to defy the demographic norm by bearing five or more children? Hannah’s Children is a compelling portrait of these overlooked but fascinating mothers who, like the biblical Hannah, see their children as their purpose, their contribution, and their greatest blessing.
The social scientist Catherine Pakaluk, herself the mother of eight, traveled across the United States and interviewed fifty-five college-educated women who were raising five or more children. Through open-ended questions, she sought to understand who these women are, why and when they chose to have a large family, and what this choice means for them, their families, and the nation.
Hannah’s Children is more than interesting stories of extraordinary women. It presents information that is urgently relevant for the future of American prosperity. Many countries have experimented with aggressively pro-natalist public policies, and all of them have failed. Pakaluk finds that the quantitative methods to which the social sciences limit themselves overlook important questions of meaning and identity in their inquiries into fertility rates. Her book is a pathbreaking foray into questions of purpose, religion, transcendence, healing, and growth—questions that ought to inform economic inquiry in the future.

Historia
Finally, in the first productivity book by a woman in a decade, Erin Falconer will show you how to do less - a lot less. In fact, How to Get Sh*t Done will teach you how to zero in on the three areas of your life where you want to excel, and then it will show you how to offload, outsource, or just stop giving a damn about the rest. In How to Get Sh*t Done she shows how even the most perfectionistic among us can tap in to our inner free spirit and learn to feel like badasses rather than drudges.

It's the most mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women without faking behavior, without lying and without emulating others. A game-changer.

America is in crisis. Happiness is falling, loneliness and despair are rising, too many schools are riddled by fights and failure, crime is unacceptably high, and the American Dream is out of reach for millions. The problems are visible to us all, but virtually no one is talking about the solution that matters most: Marriage. New research by University of Virginia sociologist Brad Wilcox shows that Americans who get married and have children today are leading happier and more prosperous lives, on average, than men and women who are single and childless.

With dizzying social transformations in everything from gender to social justice, it may seem like there’s never been a more tumultuous period in history. But a single year in the late 18th century saw a number of influential transformations—or even revolutions—that changed the social trajectory of the Western world. By understanding how those events influenced today’s cultural landscape, Christians can more effectively bear witness to God’s truth in a post-Christian age.

For many of its settlers, Quebec is a place of exile, so remote that an entire winter passes without a word from home. But to 12-year-old Cécile Auclair, the rock is home, where even the formidable Governor Frontenac entertains children in his palace and beavers lie beside the lambs in a Christmas créche.

I loved hearing the personal stories of each mom. They all had such fascinating insights. This would be good for all moms and dads to listen to even if they have smaller families because of insightful reflections on family in general. Narrator did an exceptional job.

Excellent content-rich interviews with each of the mothers, chapter by chapter. Thought-Provoking and challenging, for sure. fascinating to hear from the 5% bucking the downward spiral of the birth dearth, and giving birth to Hannah's children.

A brilliant, pathbreaking book
A fresh approach to the catastrophic decline in fertility. It focuses not on why women do not have babies but on why some - educated with shining paths to career and material success choose to buck the trend and have large families. it explores their reasons of head and heart by allowing them to tell their own stories. Pakaluk as an economist and social scientist illuminates how these stories cast light on the futility of current public policy efforts to reverse the birth dearth. She proposes a better approach.

In some ways it is sad that even the most obvious life-truths require to be researched and mathematically dissected. But, then again that seems to be the only way policy wonks will pay attention to an issue. Well documented, presented, and concluded.

Extremely encouraging
I am so glad I bought this and listened to it. I recommend this to anyone who has 3-4 or more children. I find that most of life is attitude and perspective: having the right attitude and right perspective. And most the time we get in our one way by having the wrong attitude and perspective.

Have large family watch children raise each other?
I'm glad I read it, but what a painful read. I do have to wonder who was caring for the six surviving (one died as a baby) children of her husband while his first wife was dying of cancer and what lead to his dying wife picking out the undergrad for his next wife while he worked twelve hour days. Story after story followed of women whose children had the exact opposite of helicopter parents -- and not surprising when the ratio of adults to children is as low as pictured. Having large families is supposed to promote dying to self and learning to be unselfish. Particularly hard to read was the account of the disabled child whose medical care "flip him over!" was performed by his siblings for whom support staff were available but those added adults were waived off as unneeded.
What wasn't mentioned was starkly visible. Although there are accounts of disabled children, there is not one single tale of what to do when a child has a need because of giftedness. There is also little mention of father involvement, with the exception of a sole full-time dad of fifty five cases. There is next to no mention of supporting external activities, and none of group family activities.
This looks to be a life of suffering and extreme loneliness for the woman who is giving birth in the situation, especially since three or four children is seen to be "the hardest number" as the children all learn to depend on each other and the bulk of the actions that would be done by an alloparent, parent or other leader end up in the task list of the children. There's much conveyed on how we need more humans on the planet, but I truly fear living in a world made up of children raised by children in this way.
My friends reading this are probably very surprised by my review, because I picked this up because I wanted a very large family, many of my friends have succeeded in having large families, and especially if you include in the definition fostering and other alloparenting situations, many families (including mine) are far larger than the family groups portrayed.
This is how to do large families wrong, not what I wanted at all. It's more or less the flip side to Scary Little Gods. Yes, motherhood is lifelong but I would make a lot of changes if this was my blended family of 7+8 children total.
