Raising successful individuals is a challenge that every parent grapples with. How do we instill independence, resilience, and success in our children?
\nEsther Wojcicki's How to Raise Successful People offers a set of principles that have not only been proven by her experiences as a seasoned educator but also as the mother of three exceptionally successful women.\xa0
\nIn this podcast, I\u2019m sharing my top 10 insights from the book.
\n\u201cCan you recommend a book for\u2026?\u201d
\n\u201cWhat are you reading right now?\u201d
\n\u201cWhat are your favorite books?\u201d
\nI get asked those types of questions a lot and, as an avid reader and all-around bibliophile, I\u2019m always happy to oblige.
\nI also like to encourage people to read as much as possible because knowledge benefits you much like compound interest. The more you learn, the more you know; the more you know, the more you can do; the more you can do, the more opportunities you have to succeed.
\nOn the flip side, I also believe there\u2019s little hope for people who aren\u2019t perpetual learners. Life is overwhelmingly complex and chaotic, and it slowly suffocates and devours the lazy and ignorant.
\nSo, if you\u2019re a bookworm on the lookout for good reads, or if you\u2019d like to get into the habit of reading, this book club for you.
\nThe idea here is simple: Every month, I\u2019ll share a book that I\u2019ve particularly liked, why I liked it, and several of my key takeaways from it.
\nI\u2019ll also keep things short and sweet so you can quickly decide whether the book is likely to be up your alley or not.
\nAlright, let\u2019s get to the takeaways.
