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.

Essential reading for all parents
Admittedly I was deceived by the cover of the book and initially perceived it to describe helicopter parenting. But it was quite the opposite. The book is framed by TRICK (Trust, Respect, Independence, Collaboration and Kindness) which is a simple but essential values system for anyone including kids.
The book is made relatable through Wocicki's experiences as a parent, grandparent and high school educator.
There are many nuggets that I have and will continue to self reflect on as a parent in order adapt my parenting style for the betterment of my children.
Thank you 'Woj' for sharing this with the world!

Expecting more...
This book would have been better if summed up in a '10 Things I did as a parent' & remove the anecodotal stories.

We obviously have different ideals!
I don’t doubt that she raised some very successful daughters but after reading this book i would argue that it’s in spite of their mother and more to do with their parents and Palo Alto connections. Sending a 4 year old to the shops alone, leaving them in the car while you just run into the shops, having your teenage children travel the world and not contact you for months. These are not things to get on board with. Teaching them kindness, resilience and grit I agree but that was about it. I kept listening to find some nugget of gold but unfortunately I didn’t.
