His psychological perspective may seem 'old hat' now, but Pearce posits that unless we have learned how to create our own reality as children (utilizing creative play), we tend to suffer from morose feelings of anxiety and isolation. See, also, _The Continuum Concept_ - a book that makes an even stronger case.

The author documents the capacity for creative intelligence that is built into human genes. Children can be -- almost never are -- raised to be capable of learning everything.

I wasn't that impressed with this book. While the author does have some very interesting ideas on child development, this book in an exercise in intellectual theory, not concrete action plans on how to raise children. There is no citation provided, but there is an extensive Notes section where Pierce elaborates on some points. While I agree with a lot of the author's particular views on the stages of child development, I ultimately found it just another take on Piaget's classic study of child development I read in college. This book is just a little hopelessly dated for my tastes. Pierce's writing style is phrased in an idealistic (kind of an ambiguous, hippie-dipppie) framework I just couldn't relate to.
The author's more recent publications dealing mostly with spirituality are much more interesting, relevant and pragmatic for me than this book.
