Seed Magazine
One of Year's Best Science Books (2009)
a "blockbuster.... you don’t need kids to fall under the book’s spell. Combining the fascination of pop psych with rigorous application of science, NurtureShock is more people manual than parenting manual."

Air America's The Lionel Show

Every so often a book is published that dominates the conversation on a particular topic and changes the conventional wisdom. NurtureShock by Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman is such a tide-changing tome. It will set parents’ (and others’) tongues wagging for years to come.... I think I am a better parent for having read NurtureShock and you will be too!
Guy Kawasaki, Alltop
The bottom line is that NurtureShock is a book that small business owners should read for the sake of their kids and their companies.

The Onion's AV Club
A book that’s hard to put down and easy to take seriously.... The science is well explained and studded with examples. The facts are the real strength behind the narrative, which adeptly contextualizes strange truths.

NurtureShocked and Awed by a Great Book .... Since I started reading NurtureShock, I haven’t been able to shut up about it.... This is probably the most important book I’ve read this year. I’ll continue to read other books, and I’ll continue to recommend things that I like, but if you only read one thing I review ... this year, please make it this one.
