Noah St. John, author of THE SECRET CODE OF SUCCESS: 7 Hidden Steps to More Wealth and Happiness. Americans are facing an extraordinary time to re-evaluate their basic beliefs and definitions of success. The crises in our job, financial and housing markets have impacted families to the core. As people strive to re-invent themselves to meet these unprecedented challenges, Noah St. John, says that trying to solve these new problems with old solutions is like trying to put a nail into a wall using a chainsaw.

The author of eleven books and scores of articles, he lectures at education conferences and universities as well as to parent groups and corporations. The Homework Myth, is a compelling exposé of homework – how it fails our children, why it’s so widely accepted, and what we can do about it. Alfie Kohn systematically examines the usual defenses of homework – that it promotes higher achievement, “reinforces” learning, teaches study skills and responsibility.
