About this listen

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.

struggled with the constant "look how great my girls are and how great I am". I expected and was looking forward to some of that, especially at the beginning, but it just never ends. also missing is virtually any mention of Stan, her husband. Throughout the book is I, I, I. The author states that Stan was busy, but to read the book he was never there. I liked her "trick" concept and her approach. I could have done without all the other stuff.

As with most of the books on the subject, there were parts that I liked and benefited from and there were segways where I disagreed. However, this book is based on the overriding foundational principle of TRICK (more described in the book) which I found very convincing and making sense. Definitely recommending for soon to be parents.

You can hear from her words Esther has so much experience with so many students. Her outlook on life makes an impression not only in her classroom but with the world that surrounds her. So glad that she wrote this book, I only wish I was in her classroom! As a mom, I feel like I already use many of her TRICK ideas, but now will make it more of a forefront.

So much insight on life

The author has explained her style of parenting that is done with examples from her years of being a parent as well as a professional involved in education.
The narrative is thoughtful and gives practical advice. The less attractive side to the story which I think was diminishing to her story was the name dropping by association. Not an added value when there is some good common sense information to be gleaned from the contents of her writings. She is a person in her own right we would happily take advice from . Despite the name dropping I would recommend this book.

Some sound advice
