Reviews

Susan Cain, author of Quiet.
Beautifully written, deeply researched, this is the one book we all need to read if we want to instil the next generation with confidence and joy.
Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project.
Essential reading for anyone who wants to guide children towards lives of independence, creativity and courage.
Amanda Ripley, author of The Smartest Kids in the World.
Instead of lecturing us about what we're doing wrong, Jessica Lahey reveals what she did wrong with her own children and students - and how she systematically reformed her ways. A refreshing, practical book for parents who want to raise resilient kids but aren't sure where to start.
