A good follow up to the previous book, but felt somewhat generalised and pop psychy, rather than evidence-based.

As with any self-help book, you have to take what resonates and leave what doesn’t.
There were several insights that felt genuinely beneficial (analogies of parental malware and of workhorses and mules), but there were a few ideas that felt surprisingly out of touch for a book published in the last 4 years. (The chapter on Caesar Milan and dominance in dogs, I’m looking at you).

It was ok. It feels less like a straightforward guide and more like random advice split out in between several chapters. Some chapters could be more helpful than others depending on what you are working on. I found some great pieces of advice, but overall found the book just ok.
Read in audio format. Bite-sized chapters that give a lot to think about. Can be applicable not just to parents but as a self reflection - there were many points in which I saw how I was being immature in my own relationships. Not every chapter was applicable, but that's fine because I took down notes on what works for me.
