The book seems to generalized the idea of parenthood. The cultural background and society does play a role in upbringing of a kid. I believe this book has taken a nuclear families as reference. And excluded the extended/ joint family
I am not saying one is better than other but both have pros and cons. I haven't read the book and this is a speculation based on your post.
But I am totally with you on the point that society is toxic as sulphur mine. And social media is just a dump ground of toxic waste.. Affecting the mindset of the people. Imagine someone who has been feeding off on the sm content.
....Really sorry for ranting here.

There is also a talk about the influence of our peers and the impact of the extended family. A lot of kids have been saved by the fact that they had a good teacher or a good role model outside of their disturbed family of origin. The book is very complex and I am sure that it will make you wonder about many things happening in today's world.
I am intrigued, let me search for this one and see for myself. There is always opportunity for learning and growing. Let's see if I am still a good reader or I need to improve that also.
Just out of curiosity, what made you pick this book? I sure there must be 100 other books to read but why this one? It is okay you dont have to answer this if you dont want to.
I am a fan of Gabor Mate's work and this is his latest release
Oh!!
