About this listen
Random House presents the audiobook edition of How to Raise Successful People written by Esther Wojcicki, read by Andrea Gallo.
______________________________
Being a parent is complicated – but the trick to succeed is simpler than you think.
There are no Nobel Prizes for parenting or education, but if there were, Esther Wojcicki would be the bookies’ favourite. Known as the Godmother of Silicon Valley – or simply Woj – Esther’s three daughters have all gone on to huge success in their professional fields and, more importantly, their personal lives. What’s her secret?
As we face an epidemic of parental and childhood anxiety, Woj has the advice every parent wants to hear: climb out of that helicopter and relax.
Her tried and tested TRICK system will help you:
· Let your child discover their own passions
· Move on from past parenting mistakes
· Build rock-solid foundations for a lifelong relationship
· Be brave enough to give your child freedom
· Work with your children, not against them
· Set healthy relationships with technology
Your children are the future. If you change your parenting, you can change the world.

'A brilliant book. It should be on the bookshelf of every parent.' FROST MAGAZINE
'Esther Wojcicki is leading a revolution . . . How to Raise Successful People shows us how to be our best so our children can be their best.' ARIANA HUFFINGTON
But if you can ignore what sometimes feels like gloating over how ‘successful’ her children have been in their careers (although sometimes I thought it was a bit down to who they knew), then there is a lot of great advice.
The advice covers a very broad area of parenting. But overall I have come away with the message I think the author works hard to give, and I will be looking for ways to let my children be more independant, and encourage them to help others.
I felt ‘T.R.I.C.K’ was over used as an abbreviation as I often couldn’t remember what it stands for so I will put it here: Trust, Respect, Independence, Collaboration, Kindness’.
This is the core values for ‘raising successful people’.
The author is very impressive and it is half autobiographical and half ‘how to’, which was fine by me. She has written a book her way, like she has lived her life her way, and I admire her guts and refusal to conform for the sake of conforming. I appreciate all she has done and for spreading her message. A lot of things happen because that is the way they have always been done. Here is a person who evaluates; is this how we should still be doing it? And then does something about it :-)
Useful for teachers and home educators as well as parents of all ages of children.

And everything always comes back to kindness, and teaching children to always think about how what they do impacts others, and how they can help others, can only be a positive in a society that often pushes a sense of individualism on children, often to the detriment of our mental health in the long term.
