Tired of always feeling overwhelmed and guilty after reading parenting advice books? Here's a new book by Christine Carter (author of the Half Full: Science for Raising Happy Kids Blog from the Greater Good Science Center) that focuses on raising happiness. Ask a handful of parents about what they wish for their children and raising a happy child is likely to be near or at the top of the list.
