Book: How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, Character


podcast interview: Paul Tough | Daniel H. Pink

"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.

But in book How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character, Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character: skills like
  • perseverance, 
  • curiosity, 
  • conscientiousness, 
  • optimism, and 
  • self-control."
