The Continuum Concept

by Jean Liedloff

A landmark treatise on how humanity lives versus how we should, what we've lost with our "progress," and how we can reclaim our true nature.

Jean Liedloff, an American writer, spent two and a half years in the South American jungle living with Stone Age Indians. The experience demolished her Western preconceptions of how we should live and led her to a radically different view of what human nature really is. She offers a new understanding of how we have lost much of our natural well-being and shows us practical ways to regain it for our children and for ourselves.

Our thoughts on The Continuum Concept

Our favourite quote from The Continuum Concept

Children need to see that they are assumed to be well-intentioned, naturally social people who are trying to do the right thing and who want reliable reactions from their elders to guide them.
