Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids

We have needlessly turned parenting into an unpleasant chore. Parents invest more time and money in their children than ever before, but the shocking finding from research on twins and adopted children is that upbringing is far less important than genetics in the long run. These revelations have surprising implications for how we raise our children and spend our time with them. The main takeaway: spend less time shaping your children and more time enjoying life. Your children will be fine either way.

Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids is a book of practical, big ideas. How can parents be happier? What can they change – and what do they just have to accept? Which of their worries can parents safely forget about? And most importantly, what is the right number of children for you? You will never look at children and parenting the same way again.
