Like millions of parents, bestselling author and New York Times family columnist Bruce Feiler felt squeezed between the needs of aging parents and rapidly growing children. "The old rules no longer apply. The new rules have yet to be written." Over three years, he traveled across the United States, seeking out the smartest people and the most effective families to assemble a collection of best practices for families today. The Secrets of Happy Families combines cutting-edge science with novel techniques that leading figures in business, sports, technology, and the military use with their own families. The result is a much-needed playbook for contemporary families, with over 200 bold, new ideas.
