John Medina · 2010 · 294 pages

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Derek Sivers liked it
My single favorite baby book: written by a neuroscientist, about babies’ brain development from pregnancy to children. Single best book for soon-to-be parents to read. I didn’t want kids until I read it, then it actually got me excited about the process. I’ve recommended it more than a hundred times.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
