Springtime in the Country is a collection of short stories that are based on the author's personal experiences of growing up and coming of age in Russia. Set in the '60s, '70s, and '80s, the stories offer some memorable episodes from the author's childhood and youth, his mandatory military service, and his work that took him all over the country. The author shares with the listener the fabric of those days long gone by, and shows a myriad of funny, quirky yet deeply human characters that the author met personally - all those people who enriched his life, and the memory of whom prompted him to write this book in the first place.

To keep household conflict from escalating, and to show concerned parents how to be part of the solution, Schmitz put down in book form all the successful advice he's been dispensing for thirty years.

This short article that you are about to read has become, without my intending it to be, the most controversial thing I have ever written. It is about a bus trip I took to the Gulf of Mexico, sponsored by my kid's school - with about fifty pre-teens and first-year teenagers on board - as well as three or four parents and teachers... who all made the mistake of sitting in the front of the bus, where they were blind to what was going on behind them. I was the only one who sat in the back, and who had a clear view ahead of everything that was happening.....

Unser Grundvertrauen in unsere Kinder ist viel entscheidender als die aktuellen Schulprobleme, oder andere Probleme. Was ist meine Haltung meinem Kind/meinem Jugendlichen gegenüber? Müssen sie alles machen so wie ich mir das vorstellen, und erst dann können meine Kinder mein Vertrauen haben? - Das ist eine wichtig philosophische Übung. Denn man muss sich auch als Kind/Jugendlicher fragen: Will ich meine Eltern zufrieden machen, oder finde ich meinen eigenen Weg?

Michela ha 16 anni ed è una studentessa diligente. Ma un giorno è tentata dall'idea di copiare il compito di italiano, ingannando i genitori e l'insegnante che tanto la stimano. È sabato sera e Riccardo ha appena preso la patente. Gli amici lo invitano a bere: ma lui è consapevole dei rischi che corre mettendosi alla guida dopo aver bevuto. Cosa fare? Sono due esempi di scelte che quotidianamente gli adolescenti affrontano, alle prese tra bisogni e desideri personali da un lato, e principi e norme dall'altro.

Perché gli adolescenti sono tristi? Da che cosa deriva il loro senso perenne di inadeguatezza nei confronti del mondo che li circonda? Come si articolano, e come si confrontano, esperienze psicopatologiche ed esperienze creative? Quali sono gli orizzonti problematici della psichiatria oggi? Sono inconciliabili tra loro, o sono possibili reciproche influenze? Sappiamo riconoscere il valore umano della malattia? Queste e altre domande articolano una riflessione sulle passioni fragili che appartengono alla nostra vita e alla nostra crescita.

Sfrontati e fragili, ostili e desiderosi di affetto, gli adolescenti rappresentano una sfida per gli adulti, ma soprattutto per loro stessi, alle prese come sono con la difficile costruzione del proprio io e del proprio ruolo sociale. Anche se alcuni drammatici fatti di cronaca sembrano insondabili è compito degli adulti capire. Ogni generalizzazione produce soltanto pregiudizi e la "miscela" dell'adolescenza, per non diventare esplosiva, richiede adulti coerenti nell'esempio e nella guida, capaci di attenzione e di rispetto.
