It can be a wonder for the inexperienced or the struggling new parents. The book contains a wide range of information from newborns to teenagers.

If you are searching for a job at the executive level, this needs to be step 1. It’s the proverbial answer to “Know Thyself”. I really liked this thought of the book which says “from the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more time to fixing our shortcomings than to developing our strengths”. We give less importance to things we already have and just run for acquiring some other capabilities.
