The Triple Package
How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in America
Book • 2014
In this provocative book, Amy Chua and Jed Rubenfeld argue that the success of certain cultural groups in America can be attributed to three unlikely traits: a superiority complex, insecurity, and impulse control.
These traits, collectively known as the 'Triple Package,' generate drive and discipline that lead to disproportionate success.
The authors use examples from various cultural groups, including Asian, Jewish, Cuban, and Mormon communities, to illustrate how these traits work together.
They also discuss the potential downsides of the Triple Package, such as stress, anxiety, and the pressure to constantly achieve.
The book challenges conventional wisdom on success and achievement, emphasizing that these traits are not exclusive to specific groups and can be adopted by anyone.
