How to Raise Successful People

Simple Lessons for Radical Results

By: Esther Wojcicki

Narrated by: Andrea Gallo

The godmother of Silicon Valley, legendary teacher, and mother of a super family shares her tried-and-tested methods for raising happy, healthy, successful children using trust, respect, independence, collaboration, and kindness: TRICK.

Esther Wojcicki - "Woj" to her many friends and admirers - is famous for three things: teaching a high school class that has changed the lives of thousands of kids, inspiring Silicon Valley legends like Steve Jobs, and raising three daughters who have each become famously successful. What do these three accomplishments have in common? They're the result of TRICK, Woj's secret to raising successful people: trust, respect, independence, collaboration, and kindness. Simple lessons, but the results are radical.

Wojcicki's methods are the opposite of helicopter parenting. As we face an epidemic of parental anxiety, Woj is here to say: relax. Talk to infants as if they are adults. Allow teenagers to pick projects that relate to the real world and their own passions, and let them figure out how to complete them. Above all, let your child lead.

How to Raise Successful People offers essential lessons for raising, educating, and managing people to their highest potential. Change your parenting, change the world.

A most

All parents and teachers should read this book. I was lucky enough to meet and hear Esther at a conference. The TRICK method is simple, concise and so effective, today and for the future. It's a help book told through stories and the method's application, easy to read and it flows. Not dense at all.

loved it!!

what a wonderful book that reminds us of what our role as parents truly is

The only book you need to read on the subject.

Kudos to the author for writing such an easy and fun to read book about not only raising successful children, but also cultivating or rekindling positive relationships with anyone. I highly recommend this book to new and experienced parents alike, but it would also be a resource to teachers, supervisors and managers, and anyone else who is responsible for teaching or mentoring others. Thank you for the opportunity to learn about and implement TRICK in my life.
