The Best Parenting Book Ever Written, with author Michaeleen Doucleff Mastermind Parenting Podcast

    • Parenting

This week we’re revisiting one of my all-time favorite conversations. If you’re a parent, especially one raising a strong-willed child, it’s a must-listen! 
Michaeleen Doucleff is the author of “Hunt, Gather, Parent: What Ancient Cultures Can Teach Us About the Lost Art of Raising Happy, Helpful Little Humans.” She’s also a lovely human who shares her wisdom in the unpreachy-est and most beautiful way.
“Hunt, Gather, Parent” is unlike any other parenting book I’ve ever read. It has quickly become required reading for every parent I work with one-on-one. It’s a fascinating anthropological study of human behavior. The oldest cultures in the world have mastered the art of raising happy, well-adjusted children. What can we learn from them?
We break down what we are getting wrong when it comes to parenting in our mainstream culture, and celebrate the ancient wisdom of our foremothers in a very practical and relatable way. Get ready to learn from Michaeleen. She is absolutely delightful! I definitely have a mom crush on her, and you will too.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1. The practices of sustainable parenting that run through cultures around the world.
2. The qualities we celebrate in adults that we too often discourage in our kids.
3. How an investment of time and persistence can change behaviors for the better - and for the long term.
4. Why taking time for yourself and your own interests is good for you AND your kiddos. 
And much more!
