Welcome to the Idries Shah Foundation podcast, practical psychology for today. This weekly podcast features selections from Idries Shah books, as well as original recordings. It has been made available by The Idries Shah Foundation, and is voiced by David Ault. This episode features one of the ISF children's books, Speak First and Lose.
Very often we urge our children not to be stubborn, not to sulk, not to bear a grudge, to know when to reach a compromise. But what would happen if we all refused to be as reasonable and as rational as we are asking children to be?
Speak First and Lose shows us what could happen if adults failed to resolve their differences in an intelligent, thoughtful way.
But surely grown men and women would never allow themselves to get snarled up by such trivial matters?
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our first three children's books. These books have been beautifully illustrated, and made possible through very generous donations for which we are extremely grateful. All proceeds from the sales of the children’s books (and our other special and limited editions) are ring-fenced for the Books for Afghan Children Project.
