...for writing this book. There is so much wisdom condensed into its pages. I've highlighted and Post-It tagged so much of this book because there is so much of it I want to remember, so much of it by which I want to live. I've been able to apply some of the techniques in my day-to-day life with my 23 month old daughter and it has been very helpful. I highly recommend this book to any mother or father, or really anyone who wants to better deal with negative emotions, moodiness and stress and be more kind.

I love this book! I would recommend this book to anyone, Buddhist or not. I'm so glad someone is finally talking about how to deal with the stresses of motherhood in a realistic way without inducing guilt or fear. The author's tone is both friendly and empathetic--just what we moms need. The book is impowering and has made a big difference in the way I parent and the way I view my life as a mom.
