Selfish, Shallow, and Self-Absorbed: Sixteen Writers on The Decision Not To Have Kids by Meghan Daum

5.0

I really valued this anthology on the paths to being childless. Sixteen authors explore the complexities, challenges, and benefits of living childfree and in context of our societal expectations and how individuals who choose this path are perceived. It discusses regret and how no one is exempt from regret. This is a great read to start shifting our views to valuing all lives and not looking at someone who so childless as less than.
