Parents unconsciously "project" their own psychological problems onto their children and so "unhealthy" patterns are passed on from generation to generation. The title of this book is not just about a specific event, as one might assume. The author, Rebekka Brandt, portrayed it so radically because the "wrong" upbringing is reminiscent of a virus that spreads and infects most people. But only the psychological level is meant and in order to break this "toxic" educational cycle, the author explains the scientifically proven healing effects of meditation and to what extent it makes sense to teach this in school.
