The book was really interesting, setting forth a theory that kids should really spend about a year in the uterus. Because of our advance brain size, that's impossible, so Karp contends that you should use calming techniques that recreate womb-like sensations, like swaddling, shushing, rocking, etc. Lots of references to the commonness of these techniques in more "primitive" cultures.
The DVD is great, as it shows the swaddling technique really well, and also shows the techniques working kind of like on/off switches for the babies used. It's also got great potential for comedy, if you are drawn that way (we are).
