"Brilliant . . . It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of Daniel Kahneman's contribution to the understanding of the way we think and choose. He stands among the giants, a weaver of the threads of Charles Darwin, Adam Smith and Sigmund Freud. Arguably the most important psychologist in history, Kahneman has reshaped cognitive psychology, the analysis of rationality and reason, the understanding of risk and the study of happiness and well-being."

"Profound . . . As Copernicus removed the Earth from the centre of the universe and Darwin knocked humans off their biological perch, Mr. Kahneman has shown that we are not the paragons of reason we assume ourselves to be."

Ron Davis explains both the difficulties faced by people living with dyslexia in a world and school system dominated by English readers and the special gifts that many of them have. Since reading this, I've spoken with several dyslexics who were entirely unaware of their gifts. Well, actually, they were unaware that the rest of us don't have such gifts. These include a musician who learns entire choral scores, including all of the individual parts, while learning the one assigned, several individuals with incredible 3 dimensional spatial understanding, and others who seem to be able to leap to big-picture understandings of concepts while the rest of us are struggling to cope with the details. One day I mentioned Ron Davis's notion of seeing the letter shapes from multiple dimensions to one of these individuals. It sounded crazy to me, but I learned that this person had figured out how to freeze his perspective while reading, as a high school student, without understanding why no teacher had ever suggested that approach. He had no idea that all of us don't see objects from multiple dimensions in just the way Ron Davis described. If a parent or teacher had been aware of this mental behavior 10 years earlier, he'd have been spared a great deal of struggle and self-doubt.
Kids with dyslexia in our school systems often learn to see themselves as stupid because reading English is such a challenge. In the schools where I work, I often see kids being called stupid by their peers for this reason. Thanks to this book and a few others, I can make a reasonably persuasive case that they are not stupid at all. Many of them are clearly very intelligent and need help discovering the talents they have, and currently but wrongly assume everyone else also has.
From this book and my other reading I've become convinced that dyslexia is not a handicap in the same sense as blindness, deafness, or physical challenges. It is just a different variation in brain circuitry. Humans live in groups. Any group benefits from a diverse array of talents and dyslexia provides a different mix of talents than the more common trait. In ancient communities, people with dyslexia probably were the groups' best leaders, musicians, inventors, and artists. In modern society a dis-proportionally large percentage of the top scientists, musicians, artists, entrepreneurs, and geniuses have dyslexia.
Ron Davis's methods may not be the magic bullet that enables every person with dyslexia to learn to read. Overcoming Dyslexia by Sally Shaywitz and The Dyslexic Advantage by Brock & Fernette Eide share other strategies. But this book offers valuable insight into the special gifts that often coincide with this pattern of brain development and insight into at least one way these valuable people may see the world. That alone is good reason for it to be read and re-read by every person with dyslexia and every person who cares about them. Hopefully, there is an audio-book version of it for those who haven't yet beaten the reading challenge.

Have you ever opened your mouth to discipline your child, and your parents' nastiest words tumble out? In an era when most parenting books focus on the child, this book supports parents in dealing more positively with themselves, as well as their toddler-to-school-age children, offering specific tools to stop policing and pleading with kids and start being the parents we want to be.

Based on Dr. Bailey's more than 25 years of work with children, this book explains that how we discipline ourselves is ultimately how we discipline our children. Her "Seven Powers for Self-Control" dramatically increase our ability to keep our cool with our children. These correspond to "Seven Basic Discipline Skills" we can use with our children in conflict situations. As children internalize these skills, they naturally learn "Seven Values for Living," which include integrity, respect, compassion, and responsibility.
