A mother of four, Suzanne Evans is fed up with tantrums,
misbehavior, and general household chaos. Desperate to get the
upper hand, she turns to Machiavelli's famous sixteenth-century
political treatise, The Prince, and wonders: Can Machiavelli's
rules on warfare and statecraft be suc-cessfully applied to
parenting?
Using "The Prince" as a guide, Evans embarks on an unlikely
experiment in "power parenting" and quickly learns that
Machiavellian maxims can go a long way when running a kingdom--and
a household.
- Study the actions of illustrious men: How to lead by example.
- It is dangerous to be overly generous: A good ruler sets limits.
- It is better to be feared than loved: Sometimes a leader has to
be a meanie to ensure the security and obedience of the people.
Heralded as a "funny, creative, new parenting guide" (Parade.com),
"Machiavelli for Moms" offers one woman's unorthodox approach to
modern motherhood--and stands as a manifesto for other moms willing
to act on Machiavelli's sometimes shocking but ever practical
advice.
