What People Are Saying
More Praise
Daniel Ek: "My two daughters are pretty spirited and I’m determined to raise them to stay that way, to know they can accomplish anything, and protect them as much as I can from the pressures they are going to face in this increasingly crazy world. This book has been super helpful to me in setting out a clear map of girls’ developmental stages and how we can make sure we don’t sell out the potential or uniqueness of our daughters."
