The Continuum Concept (Broché)

After spending two and a half years deep in the South American jungle living with Stone Age Indians, Jean Liedloff found that her experiences demolished her Western preconceptions of how we should live. What she discovered about their way of life led her to alter her view of what constitutes our basic human nature and to develop a radical new theory on how we should bring up our children. In The Continuum Concept she shows how we have lost much of our natural well-being through Western materialism, and suggests practical ways to regain it, for our children and for ourselves.
