How to Hug a Porcupine: Dealing With Toxic &… di John L. Lund
Old fashioned in presentation, wise content. Worth a read.
Actually I liked his program "How to Hug a Teenage Porcupine" better. This is a good program, but the other one was a lot more fun. This presentation was more serious.
A delightful series of several talks integrated onto 4 CDs
1. The Art of Parenting
2. Five Governing Values of Teens
3. Dealing with Noncompliant Teens
The author not only has broad experience with, but understands how teens think, and how to interact with them. I have only captured a few of his points, but he was kind enough to say what he was going to say, say it, and then summarize, so here are a few things that I learned.
Teens and parents have different values. Teen values: Fun, Friends, Freedom. Parent values: Responsibility. The teens know your values. A talking head endlessly repeating those values won't cause them to adopt those values. He even covers what to do with compliant children so they don't get discouraged!
Teens and grandparents get along because they have similar values.
There are only three ways that teens (people) learn:
- by what they see
- by what they hear
- by what they experience
Love and Trust are different. Loving someone does not mean that we trust them. You need to have an “I trust you program” separate from an “I love you program.” Most parents have proven themselves untrustworthy. How to become a trustworthy parent (and thus stop being manipulated into enabling self-destructive children.)
This was much more interesting than many pop psychology books because
- it is applied psychology
- it applies to a very narrow set of interactions (teens)
- it clearly separates what works from what doesn't
- it contains serious examples delivered with hit-home humor.
Although my family is largely past this phase, yet I look forward to listening to this program again.… (altro)

John Lund offers here a poorly organized, weak and, at times, confusing approach to the question of geography in the Book of Mormon. Based less on scholarly research and documentation than on faith promoting renditions of folklore mingled with scriptural interpretations and Church doctrine, the book is barely readable and should certainly be judged with an understanding of its substantial limitations. It does not give much insight into the question of Book of Mormon geography.
