Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character

Ăber dieses Buch
"A persuasive wake-up call."â People A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the award-winning journalist Paul Tough, a provocative and profound examination of childhood success and characterâan insightful study that reveals the power to transform young people's lives. Why do some children succeed while others fail? The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. In How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that success has more to do with characterâskills like perseverance, curiosity, optimism, and self-control. In this groundbreaking study, Tough introduces us to key researchers and educators, who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character. Through their storiesâand the stories of the children they are trying to helpâTough reveals how character has the power to transform young people's lives. This provocative and profoundly hopeful book will not only inspire and engage readersâit will also change our understanding of childhood itself.
