內容簡介
內容簡介 暢銷教養著作《虎媽的戰歌》作者蔡美兒Amy Chua最新作品!成功,是個人努力的果實?或者離不開自己的文化和背景?使人攀向成功巔峰的特質是什麼;這些特質,又有什麼黑暗的副作用?在《虎媽的戰歌》,蔡美兒娓娓道出自身教養經驗,彰顯東方母親嚴母育兒的教養方式,是孕育傑出下一代的關鍵。書中針對東、西方教養方式,甚至是世界觀進行比較,引起許多討論評議。這次,同為耶魯大學法律教授的蔡美兒與先生Jed Rubenfeld,將碰觸更加敏感的議題,援引統計數據與各項資料,為讀者揭開美國成功人們的特質,指出在美國近年來,成功其實是獨享於特定的文化群體!像是中國人、猶太人、摩門教徒等。而這些群體為何興起,其實是因為共享了三項與美國精神深深牴觸的特色!美國精神崇尚社會的平等、對自身的自信,以及活在當下,及時行樂;然而,這些成功的文化群體的共通點卻是相信自己的優越性、懷抱著強烈的不安全感,並高度自律自制。諷刺的是,這些促使他們邁向成功的特質,卻也可能帶來許多毒害的病態結果。極富挑釁意味與深刻意涵,《The Triple Package》將翻轉我們對成功與成就的想法。Why do Jews win so many Nobel Prizes and Pulitzer Prizes?Why are Mormons running the business and finance sectors?Why do the children of even impoverished and poorly educated Chinese immigrants excel so remarkably at school?It may be taboo to say it, but some cultural groups starkly outperform others. The bestselling husband and wife team Amy Chua, author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, and Jed Rubenfeld, author of The Interpretation of Murder, reveal the three essential components of success - its hidden spurs, inner dynamics and its potentially damaging costs - showing how, ultimately, when properly understood and harnessed, the Triple Package can put anyone on their chosen path to success.
