Attachment is not only cozy and beautiful, but also exhausting. Close to parents, Nora Imlau addresses a taboo. According to estimates, one in five mothers is currently experiencing burnout. In her new book, the successful advice author offers not only solutions for parents who are at their limits in family life, but also for mothers and fathers who want to avoid feeling overwhelmed or burned out in the first place. Better happy than perfect – solution-oriented and practical, Nora Imlau demonstrates, using many personal examples and insights from psychology and science, how to create a life with children that is both attachment- and needs-oriented as well as relaxed and calm. Because the lack of political and societal support also contributes to parental exhaustion, Nora Imlau also articulates demands for a society that must finally help alleviate the pressure under which so many families suffer.
