I look forward to reading your article! I enjoy indulgence and I also enjoy discipline - sometimes I'm off in either direction. I have to remind myself to focus on balance .

When I was reading this book, I was really struck by how much life has changed in the last few hundred years - some for the better and some for the worst. I have a love/hate relationship with technology (cell phones, social media, gaming systems, etc), especially as a parent.

It is a fascinating read - the author is a great storyteller and his interviews are thought-provoking.

Thank you, Irene, for sharing your thoughts. Again, I'm looking forward to your article!!
