Esther Wojcicki
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.

Listening as a child of immigrants who grew up in poverty in the US in terrible neighborhoods where my friends were joining gangs and getting arrested by 5th grade… I felt like she was a little privileged in her thinking.
I do however think that her principles of raising kids independent, instilling grit, and fostering trust and respect are fantastic rules to live by. I just wish she would acknowledge that the environment she put her kids in also wildly influenced their paths.
I’m reading this book as I am a mother to a 17 month old boy and soon to be mom to a newborn baby girl. I’m trying to read up and learn how to raise them to become productive members of society in a healthy loving environment (something I did not get myself). So I did find some of those tips on focusing on character traits important (I’ve read this in another parenting book as well). I do however know full and we’ll how important environment is to shaping a child’s world view and perception of themselves. For example almost all kids who go to private school end up going to college.
Reading between the lines, I gather you need to use her “TRICK” method while also putting your kids in the best environment possible and have them mingle with the movers and the shakers of the world. Get to the best neighborhood in the best school district possible and make friends with rich people and captains of industry… easier said than done, but if your husband is a renowned physicist and you are a model, you might have a decent chance.
Take the anecdotes with a grain of salt but internalize the Trust, Resilience, Independence, Confidence, Kindness part.
The first quarter of the book is GREAT, but then…
