I started listening to this audiobook minutes after downloading it to my iPod. Unlike other audio material from which I've been easily distracted, I listened straight through every time I had a chance and finished listening within days.

The author has a pleasant reassuring tone of voice and his techniques are well-supported and -illustrated with realistic examples.

I appreciated the way the themes were reinforced throughout the book in ways that were neither redundant or boring. I also enjoyed the analogies, such as putting on your own oxygen mask first (i.e., taking care of yourself), in order to be an effective parent.

There was a lot of useful material packed into a short book. For me, these ideas came along at a good time and I started putting them into practice immediately.
