How to Raise Successful People
Simple Lessons for Radical Results
Book • 2019
In 'How to Raise Successful People: Simple Lessons for Radical Results,' Esther Wojcicki shares her approach to parenting based on the TRICK principle: Trust, Respect, Independence, Collaboration, and Kindness.
Wojcicki, who has raised three highly successful daughters and taught numerous influential figures, including Steve Jobs's children, argues against helicopter parenting and instead promotes a hands-off approach that encourages children to take risks, make their own decisions, and develop self-reliance.
The book emphasizes the importance of reflecting on one's own childhood experiences to improve parenting methods and focuses on building a strong foundation for children to become independent, respectful, and resilient individuals.
