How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character

by Paul Tough

Hardcover Audio CD Kindle Edition Paperback

"How Children Succeed" by Paul Tough is a book that explores the key factors that lead to success in children. Tough argues that success is not solely based on intelligence or academic prowess, but rather on traits such as grit, curiosity, conscientiousness, and optimism. Through insightful stories and scientific research, Tough demonstrates that character development and non-cognitive skills play a vital role in achieving success and well-being in life. He suggests that parents, teachers, and policymakers should focus on nurturing these character traits in children, particularly those who face adversity or come from disadvantaged backgrounds. The book offers a compelling and refreshing perspective on how we can help our children thrive and succeed in today's world.
