Quotes:
"We live in a web of ideas, a fabric of our own making."
"We are shaped by each other. We adjust not to the reality of a world, but to the reality of other thinkers."

For other persons named Joseph Pearce, see Joseph Pearce (disambiguation).
Joseph Chilton Pearce is an American author of a number of books on child development. He prefers the name "Joe".[1] He has a master's degree. He presents the idea of the heart - or compassionate mind - as another categorization of brain function with equal stature as the thalamus, prefrontal cortex, and lower brain.[2] He believes that active, imaginative play is the most important of all childhood activities because that cultivates a mastery of one's environment. He coins the term "creative competence" to discuss that mastery. Further, children without that form of play develop feeling of isolation and anxiety.[3] He also believes that child parent bonding is important, and blames both a lack of breast feeding and modern childbirth as obstructive to that bonding.[4]
