The continuum concept

While I really enjoyed the concept, I do believe this book should've been a few times shorter. It's written by a professor and her narrative is pretty complex at times, while also diving so deep into some stories that they take tens of pages without any real meaning.

Everything is co-related to a tribe of natives, but has little connection with the real life.

Despite all of that, I loved the main idea and the book helped me a lot opening my eyes to see how far we've gone separating ourselves from the nature and the natural way of living!

When keeping in mind that the author is neither a parent or an anthropologist, this book gives an incredibly different, and much needed point of view on baby-rearing. A must-read by any parent, whether you agree 100% or not, everyone with an intent to raise a child should give this book a read in order to see another perspective. The insights in this book are invaluable when forging your own parental style, one that frees the mother to pursue her own needs while at the same time giving the baby what he needs as well. A huge a-ha! moment for me, unfortunately not until my fourth (and final) baby was over a year old.
