Lauren Sandler's 'One and Only' challenges the stereotypes surrounding only children and their parents. Through a blend of extensive research, personal anecdotes, and cultural analysis, Sandler argues that only children often grow up with significant advantages and that the decision to have one child can lead to greater personal and familial well-being. The book addresses societal prejudices and myths about only children being selfish or maladjusted, offering a broader perspective on family size and its implications for happiness and fulfillment. It is a thought-provoking read for parents, policymakers, and anyone interested in contemporary American culture and family dynamics.
