"It is impossible to be an educator if you do not put the principle of service at the center and are not prepared for a kind of daily ascesis that prescribes a rigorous demanding attitude toward yourself and a respectful attitude toward others. Otherwise, children become the "others" who make your life a dystopian hell. Let us remember the rule of thumb: Change yourself first and foremost, become what we want your children to be, and happiness and joy of fruitful work will return to the world. The book is aimed at educators, psychologists and all those interested in parenting."
