Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Peaceful Sleeper
Chrissy Lawler · 2026
76/100
👍 Worth It
Chrissy Lawler brings real clinical credentials and a documented track record with over 100,000 families to a topic that desperately needs a calm, evidence-based voice — and her attachment-first framework that doesn't force parents to choose sides is genuinely valuable. The book is brand new so the long critical record isn't there yet, but the expert endorsements are strong and the approach is sound. Worth it for exhausted parents who want science without ideology.
