The Nurture Effect Proposes Solutions To Social Problems

Tony Biglan has published a new book, The Nurture Effect: How the science of Human Behavior Can Improve our Lives and Our World (New Harbinger) that makes a compelling argument that we now know enough about what is effective to significantly impact many social problems. He argues that the problems cannot be solved in isolation but must be addressed in an integrated approach that involves individuals, communities, and state and federal policy. There is a small set of core principles that inform the solutions to social problems. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in bringing science to bear on the problems our society is facing.
