The Secrets of Happy Families: Improve Your Mornings, Rethink Family Dinner, Fight Smarter, Go Out and Play, and Much More

From Barnes & Noble• Unhappy families might make better subjects for fiction, but happiness is the goal towards which every parent strives. Not long after top-selling author Bruce Feiler (The Council of Dads; Walking the Bible) began researching family dynamics, he started wondering whether insights gathered in seemingly unrelated fields might provides. By tapping recent studies of how people work best in small groups, he decided that his family could actually benefit from practices developed in businesses, professional sports, and even the military. When first seen, that approach might appear cold-hearted, but when applied, his method actually fostered more success than the uncertain improvisations of most parents.

Feiler has an engaging style…and his primary thesis—that people should work as diligently on their families as they do on their careers—is well worth exploring.
