This book has been the highlight reading of the month. Yeah, I'm generally a cynic about parenting books, but Weil puts out some great ideas to give your children a real sense of their own responsibility and purpose.
At the end of the book, she includes a questionnaire for parents revolving around the statement, "My life is my message" showing people just how well their life reflects their goals and ideals. GRANTED! Weil does have a certain bent toward issues of animal cruelty, consumerism, sweatshop labor, etc., but whether or not your ideas match with hers, this book is an excellent tool not only in helping raise children, but also in helping us raise ourselves.
I'll definitely read this again, though can't be bothered purchasing it. This one's a 4.
