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.

The last 3/4ths are just tiring anecdotes about how successful her kids are/the people around her, I totally get being proud of your kids. But reading between the lines, it’s seems like much of the success of her kids has to do with the fact that she was a model and her husband has a PhD and is a renounced physicist. So duh, your kids aren’t out there fugly and dumb, running and gunning the streets because of this. They have the advantage of genetics on their side. Second, she raised them in an up and coming tech bubble in a fantastic school system. So she was able to expose them to movers and shakers of the world. She name dropped Maye Musk as a friend and a bunch of other big tech people. So yes, if you raise your kid in that environment, chances are they will meet and mingle with these people and their lives will go a certain way. 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…

Love love love this book! If people apply these principles, (what they CAN apply to in their specific lives because every household is different) it will help raise better people. The helicopter and tiger parenting is ruining the future generation. People whom I know who didn’t like this book are the ones who read this book, looking for a secret recipe for raising successful kids! Sorry, there is no such recipe. It’s a lot of TRIC, life long TRIC.

Loved this book and listened to it multiple times.
