I found this book as a free download for my kindle. I decided to give it a try as this was a discussion I recently had with a friend of mine. I found the book to be a pleasant read, but one you must have an open mind about before reading. I, personally, am not settled on the issue of whether or not to have children. I found the presentation of living a child-free life to be well rounded, looking at several aspects, those who have chosen to be child-free, those who did not make that choice, either to life circumstances preventing them from having children, or from having issues with infertility. All in all I found the book to be interesting, and it gave me more to think about in the whole debate on having children, versus not having children. If you are having this debate yourself, I would recommend this book.

Ihave read 3 books this month and this is The best if you are dealing with the decision if you want to be childfree . It goes into good detail of different aspects of the decision (social, family, work, culture,friends) helping to have a broad vision while providing tools and questions to apply to one's situation. I felt very reassured and calm after reading this book and i have recommended it to close friends too.

Really helped me to think about & get a game plan to move forward childfree, not childless. Realistic approach to having children or not having children. Interesting read even for those with children or for those unsure or undecided. This book provides alternative ways of looking at a situation you may or may not have been in control of, optimistically & provides tools for the time when doubt, emotion and/or society gets the best of you. I will likely read & 're-read this book.
