summary
Are you thinking about having kids but overwhelmed by the prospect of the amount of work and sacrifice that comes with parenting? Economist Bryan Caplan has a radical yet compelling solution for you in his book "Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids". He argues that modern parenting has turned into an unpleasant chore, all while research shows that upbringing is much less important than we imagine. So why not relax and enjoy the journey? Caplan suggests that raising your children in your own way, and in the way that feels right for you, is the key to happiness. And more surprisingly, Caplan advises that you should have more kids! Modern parents that endure needless toil and sacrifice are overcharging for every child. Once you relax and discard the drudgery of other parents, bringing another child into the world becomes a much better deal. So sit back and enjoy the ride, parenthood is easier and more fun than you think.
