Under Pressure

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

I’m the father of two and very interested in understanding what kind of parenting my children need. What amount of pressure do they need? What is the difference between the Soviet-type school I attended in 1977 - 1987 and the modern school? This is why I bought this book in a local bookshop a few months ago, started reading this month and already halfway through. Very interesting read. Even applicable to work as well. More pressure - less creativity. I really liked debunking the myth of multitasking.
