The Continuum Concept: In Search of Happiness Lost by Jean Liedloff

4.0

Yes, some of Liedoff's specific assertions are a bit goofy, but nevertheless, the fundamental insight of the book is sound: human beings are born with a certain set of "expectations," the result of our evolutionary history, and will thrive best when those expectations are met. Unfortunately, contemporary American society is not well designed to make meeting those expectations an easy thing; babies and also their mothers suffer as a result.
