OK, book, you’ve missed one obvious recommendation after another.  I guess I have to forgive that – you’re a work of normie pop science being written for a normie audience, ultimately addressed to normie policy-makers, and so you’re not going to go into anything super weird even if it might help with the problems that you’re bemoaning.  I get that. 

But, seriously, some things are just too obvious and too mission-critical to pass up.  

Maybe someone should start thinking about promulgating ideals of the happy, fulfilling, worthwhile good life that don’t involve having kids.
