Book Reviews of The Absorbent Mind
Book Review: Absorbent Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazing book, that will absorb your interest from cover to cover. It deals with what most of us usually consider to be the most important part of our society, the education of children, and it shows us how many of our social preconceptions are just off the mark when it comes to children. While there are some clear holes in some of her premises (mainly those related to evolutionary theory, see Richard Dawkins The Selfish Gene) in general her conclusions are right on target when it comes to understanding the best way in which us, adults, can help the children develop properly by just simply letting them be free and independent, which is in their natural drive.
