About the Book

You've never seen Aristotle like this! In If Aristotle's Kid Had an iPod: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Parents, Conor Gallagher dusts off Aristotle's Ethics and reveals a vibrant, illuminating philosophy no less powerful and profound than when it was first penned. Aristotle's philosophy of man has endured for millenia. The truth of Aristotle's insights has been acknowledged by saints and scholars, illustrated in literature and pop culture, even empirically demonstrated by modern science. But you've never seen it like this. Inside you'll discover: - What the Dog Whisperer, Tony Robbins and Siegfried and Roy have to with Aristotle (and your kid!) - What Aristotle says about parental outsourcing - Why you should tell your kid to "Get Lost" - What the Beatles and Bill Gates can teach your kid (and you) about virtue - How to help your kid navigate the social world of Facebook - Why tweeting isn't real conversation - And, of course, what would he listen to if Aristotle's kid had an iPod? Gallagher masterfully weaves Aristotle, scientific studies, pop culture, and parenting tales together making If Aristotle's Kid Had an iPod: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Parents a funny, rich, and informative read, and an indispensible guide for any parent who wants to pass on the secrets of a happy life to their kids.

Review :
"Conor Gallagher has written a wonderful book - and by that I mean it is both inspired by wonder, and it encourages wonder in the parents to whom it is addressed. He brings Aristotle - and Tolkien and Star Wars - into a lively conversation with modern parents, in language that is precise, straightforward, and winsome." - Anthony Esolen, author of Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of your Child "Gallagher's book is brilliant because of its common sense, which is very uncommon these days. But he doesn't stop there. He show Moms and Dads how to practically apply age-old advice to everyday life in the 21st century." - Teresa Tomeo, Syndicated talk show host and best-selling author "There's no better authority on human nature than Aristotle, and his recipe for finding lasting fulfillment in life has never been more timely. Conor Gallagher take this ancient wisdom and applies it to contemporary child-rearing with clarity and humor. Vivid examples and descriptions of recent research make this book a pleasure to read. If you plan to read just one book on how to raise confident, virtuous, and well-rounded children make it this one." - Laura L. Garcia, Ph.D. Scholar in Residence, Philosophy Department, Boston College
