In these marvelous stories -- brimming with wit, understanding, a touch of irony and a large helping of authentic Torah perspective -- we will walk with a renowned and experienced psychotherapist and popular author through the pathways of contemporary life: its crowded sidewalks, its pedestrian malls, and the occasional dead end street. This is a walk through our lives that will be fun, entertaining -- and eye-opening. In our full -- sometimes overfull -- and complex lives, Yaakov Salomon is a welcome and much-needed voice of sanity and reason.
His speaking, writing and musical talents have delighted audiences from Harvard to Broadway and everything in between. Rabbi Salomon shares his life with his wife, Temmy, and their unpredictable family.

Some people are funny. Some are insightful. Some are cynical. Some find a humorous touch in everything. Others find irony. Some write beautifully. Few people do them all as well as Rabbi Yaakov Salomon does. Entertaining, inspiring, astute, he has the uncommon ability to look something to give us pause and make us think. His new book, Something to Think About , gives us just that -- with a healthy dose of wit and charm. Click here to order.

so true, if we give kids everything they want, they'll become spoiled. And later on they'll probably become very agitated when things don't go their way like they're use to.

?????????
In my family we are under so much presure to just come up with the yearly yeshiva tuition that we can not afford a $2000 modest camp for my kids and this is how people waste their money?

Well may be
Well, may be you are right, but just think about it. Child who grew up in wealthy family is used to luxury and will work very hard to maintain the lifestyle he/she accustom to. It's not a camping experience, but there is a motivation there and definately more than when kids are been paid for cleaning up the room (you know that chore rewards).

Kids are spoiled
I couldn't agree with you more. I loved the bus ride to camp. No wonder that they are disrespectful and rude-they get what they want, no questions asked and get away with murder. Kids need limits or they will be dependent as adults. This is a very materialistic society and the sooner kids learn the word "no," the better it is for them and their parents.
