"Hit your kid but make sure to not leave marks." One of the most self-absorbed and backward books I've ever read.

Found a copy in a local Little Lending Library. Grabbed it expecting a typical “Zen and the Art of ....”. It is not, but, it is far from disappointing. A real enjoyable and quick read. Often make you look out the window an smile as you remember your own fatherhood path.

This is not a Zen book, despite the occasional quote by people such as Watts. But it is a rather amusing collection of stories from a guy with seven kids. Quick reading, perfect for "the office."
