They were three of the greatest minds in history. But before they changed the world, they were children.
Raising Genius tells the untold parenting stories of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Albert Einstein, and Steve Jobs—and reveals the price of brilliance.

• Mozart’s father paraded him across Europe as a child prodigy, driving him to dazzling heights and early ruin.
• Einstein’s mother pushed him relentlessly, molding a stubborn dreamer into the world’s most famous scientist.
• Steve Jobs was adopted by a machinist and a bookkeeper, raised in a California garage where craftsmanship met rebellion—only to falter when fatherhood became his own test.

Written as gripping narrative nonfiction, Raising Genius reads like a novel but stays true to history. You’ll walk candlelit halls in Vienna, sit in Einstein’s parlor in Bern, and stand in the Los Altos garage where Apple was born. Each scene is real, each triumph shadowed by sacrifice.

This is not just another biography. It is a reflection on parenting and genius—how families shape greatness, and what genius costs in return.

Mozart gave his body.
Einstein gave his family.
Jobs gave his daughter.

The world remembers their brilliance. This is the story of the parents who made—and unmade—them.
