This is a conversation between two great minds, exploring the possibilities of creating a world in which the truth is told, compassion is more important than the bottom line and how we can make a contribution to that vision.
Radical Parenting synthesizes the groundbreaking concepts from psychotherapist Brad Blanton's previous works, including Radical Honesty and Honest to God. The author shares his personal experiences with his own children, alongside insights gained from years of helping individuals navigate the impact of their upbringing. This book establishes a new framework for parenting aimed at those who wish to rise above the constraints of their familial and cultural backgrounds. Drawing from decades of experience with numerous families and the latest scientific research in brain physiology, cognitive theory, and psychological development, it guides parents toward conscious parenting. The objective is to help them avoid perpetuating the same limitations they faced in their own childhoods. The book delves into the intricacies of how human minds are formed, function, and sometimes malfunction. It offers practical advice for engaging with children from infancy onward and emphasizes the importance of fostering a nurturing environment that encourages playfulness and curiosity as they grow into adulthood. Additionally, it critiques cultural norms that obscure our understanding of how we inadvertently recreate cycles of suffering.
This new edition of the source book fo the whole Radical Honest movement includes Brad's accumulated observations since of 1994 of those people whose lives have been transformed by getting out of the seld--made jails of their minds into the truth they have always known.
Brad Blanton is at ease in this first volume of his autobiography. Some NEW Kind of Trailer Trash, telling any tale about himself, including the most intimate, demonstrating the interior security and self-deprecating humor, which it would seem support his international reputation as a gestalt therapist, seminar leader, and writer published all over the world. He owns into his life in all aspects, and finds in his weirdness his salvation, demonstrating the radical honesty he's made famous, and rooting his self-understanding, which is considerable, in his childhood. Transformation personified.

niewyparzonego języka cham, bez ogródek pali ogniem wszelkie przejawy kłamstwa
i nieszczerości, którymi się karmimy. Niech was jednak nie zmyli forma – to
książka głęboko terapeutyczna i humanistyczna. Daje nadzieję, że jest możliwe
prawdziwe i trwałe porozumienie między ludźmi.

Unverblümt räumt Brad Blanton mit der moralistischen und glaubensverhafteten Denkweise auf und geht direkt zur Wurzel allen Leids. Es ist ein Buch zur Kindererziehung, aber wie können wir Kinder erziehen, wenn wir als Eltern nicht zuerst aus dieser Denkweise aussteigen, nicht zuerst uns selbst genauer unter die Lupe nehmen? Wollen wir weiterhin Tipps austauschen und Symptomerleichterung anstreben? Brad nimmt kein Blatt vor den Mund, spricht die Dinge direkt an. Es ist gefährlich, dieses Buch zu lesen, denn die eigene, wohlvertraute Denkwelt wird heftig durcheinandergeschüttelt. Und je größer der Blick hinter die Kulissen, desto schmerzhafter wird es, mit der alten Verhaltensweise fortzufahren. Gibt es denn wahre Veränderung ohne Perspektivenwechsel?
