To the OP; if you are considering purchasing/using "On Becoming 
Babywise" please take a look at this site:

"Figure out what *you* care about.  Your life isn't some god's, it isn't 
some priest's, it's *yours* - you get to decide what's right for you. 
Grow up and be responsible for yourself.

How?  Here's a hint.  Decide what sorts of people you'd like to see more 
of in the world.  Then go become one of them."
