NutureShock Book Discussion
I was talking to a few people how I would love to discuss the book NutureShock more. And I happen to think that you all would be excellent people to discuss it with, so with Alan and Kathy's blessing, a book discussion is on! I haven't actually finished the book yet, so I am counting on all of you to help me finish it. I haven't liked every chapter, but I've found most thought-provoking, so worthy of more discussion.
In googling a bit about the book tonight, I see that a few other blogs have done the same thing, but we're us and different, so we'll bring our own perspectives and I think it will be good!
Anyway, I propose starting August 1st with the Introduction and Chapter 1. That gives about 10 days to buy or borrow the book. I'll post a new discussion for each chapter every Monday following. The authors have posted lots of articles on-line, so where I can, I'll link for those who aren't able to buy the book.
In fact, here is Chapter 1 in article form, but no discussing until August 1!!

Yep, I mentioned other blogs were doing it. But I don't know them!

I'll try to check out the book from the library--it's been on my reading list for a while since all of you keep mentioning it.
I'll definitely be interested to read your discussion even if I don't get to reading it--I'm on vacation next week! Yay!

Yeah, I'll do it. We have a copy kicking around somewhere that the life duet keeps trying to get me to read. I say feh, but you all can get me to do just about anything. ;)

Tomorrow, is August 1st and Chapter 1 is on deck. I'll probably post the thread around naptime, so mid-afternoon. Here's the link to the first chapter again: http://nymag.com/news/features/27840/

And by "don't have much to say" I don't mean "don't care about the discussion." More like "OMG, this was EXACTLY my personal experience" so not much to add.

Sure...
But now I have to read it again so I can figure out what I have to say about it...

I'm mostly going to be block-quoting.
