Staff Picks: Selfish, Shallow, and Self Absorbed: Sixteen Writers on the Decision Not to Have Kids edited by Meghan Daum

Leaving aside those who wish to have children but don’t,  there are surely as many reasons for not being a parent as for being one and as many ways to be as to not be one. The essays in Selfish, Shallow, and Self Absorbed are thoughtful and honest about the challenges of living an “authentic” life. It’s clear that there can be courage and a rich emotional life in either decision.
