   As parents we wanted to be one of the better ones. A while back, we started with Bringing up Bébé, and since then learnt How to Talk so Kids will Listen and Listen so Kids will Talk; we were even Prepared while Reviving Ophelia. This year, we realized, we want to just settle on being A Good Enough Parent.

   > Bill Gates’s constant companion is a tote bag full of books. He digests about one book per week, typically on topics that overlap with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s agenda. He says recent standout titles include “Prepared” by educator Diane Tavenner, about helping kids find a path to a fulfilled life; “Loonshots,” Safi Bahcall ’s book about nurturing creative ideas that may initially seem nuts; and “These Truths,” a re-examination of U.S. history by Jill Lepore.
