Harris' theory believes that children's' experiences outside the home determine the sort of people children will become, with parents have little influence over them. Harris concludes that many of the previously cherished notions on parenting have been tested and that sincerity and hard work do not guarantee success.

This book is an interesting take on how personalities are affected. However, Harris takes her points to an extreme view. She also seems to have a grudge against those who believe more in nature than nurture - much of her writing has anger underneath. She does support many of her points with research studies, but others are simply based off anecdotes, either of her or of others. All in all, the book presents an interesting view and does have some valid points, but she has heavy prejudice and lets some of her views ride simply on emotion and experience.
