I recon this book might not be as well translated as he might think. The subtitle in German is sub-par translation at least. Can't say anything about the content of the book itself, but if it's a similar quality, the book might not gain that much traction or raving reviews in other languages.

I’m also not sure how well the contents translate to German. After all, Germany has not only compulsory education but the “allgemeine Schulpflicht” (i.e. compulsory school attendance), meaning homeschooling is, for the most part, strictly illegal (Switzerland and Austria have different rules, though).
The fact that Germany has such strict restrictions was a major factor in wanting to produce in a German edition! They need as much inspiration as they can get to change their system.
