How Children Succeed presents us to a fresh generation of researchers and educators who are radically changing our understanding of how children develop personality, how they figure out how to think, and how they defeat adversity. It says the personal reports of teenagers struggling to remain on the right aspect of the collection between success and inability. And it argues for a fresh thought process about how better to steer an individual child - or a complete technology of children - toward a successful future. This provocative and profoundly hopeful booklet can not only inspire and indulge listeners; it will also change our understanding of childhood itself.
