The sample of this book drones on with the author's unique circumstances of raising his "strong willed" son. I believe there is useful information in the book, but the author gives off sleezy salesman vibes by not getting to the point quickly enough. If this is the author's way of building trust with the reader, it is ineffective. It would have been more preferred if the author pointed to research and child psychology to help the reader truly understand why certain methods are ineffective with "strong willed" children.
