Book In Review: Parentonomics



I read a lot. I would guess that I average about 40 books a year. It's not uncommon that I spend a few hours on a "me day" and finish a book in one sitting. It just recharges me like nothing else can. I love getting lost in worlds that aren't our own and experiencing things that I otherwise never would.

I love sharing that feeling. That's what this Books in Review blog series is about. Sharing that feeling.

Parentonomics
Joshua Gans

Quick Synopsis: Gans is an economist, and he began to apply the tools of his trade to raising his children. He saw his new life as one big economic management problem-- and if economics helped him think about parenting, parenting illuminated certain economic principles.


My Thoughts:  I don't really know what to say about this book. I was expecting more parenting and less economics, maybe? But, actually, it's less of a parenting book and more of a book about observing the interesting similarities between parenting and economics. Still an interesting read, but not what I was expecting. Not good, not bad.


My Rating: 3/5 Stars
