Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. What explains those rare families that boast multiple siblings who achieve extraordinary success? An award-winning New York Times journalist weaves story with science to explore the circumstances that set those families apart.At once clear-eyed and compassionate, The Family Dynamic uncovers how parentsand siblingsshape and fuel individual success.Lisa Damour, bestselling author of The Emotional Lives of TeenagersAn Olympic athlete. An award-winning novelist. A successful entrepreneur. All raised under one roof. What can we learn from those families whose children aim high and succeed, sometimes in widely varied fields? Just as important: What were the costs along the way, and what can we glean from their travails and triumphs? The acclaimed New York Times journalist Susan Dominus offers compelling profiles of six such families in search of the factors that led to their successwas it an inherited quality, a specific way of parenting, the influence of a sibling, or a twist of luck? Inspired by the iconic Bronte sisters, whose remarkable literary success prompted endless speculation, Dominus, the mother of twin teenagers, sought out contemporary high-achieving families who shared intimate stories of their upbringing. She introduces us to the Chens, young parents who fled their countrys one-child policy to open a Chinese restaurant in Appalachiathen sent four children to elite colleges and on to careers that give back in technology and medicine; the Groffs, whose claim to fame is not just an award-winning novelist but an Olympic athlete and a notable entrepreneur; the Wojcickis, whose daughters made inroads as STEM pioneers in Silicon Valley; and the Murguias, who rose from exceptionally humble origins to become powerful jurists and civil rights champions. Woven into these and other stories is an account of centuries of scientific research into the ongoing question of nature versus nurture.Elegantly written and extensively researched, The Family Dynamic is more than a checklist of how-tos. Its a deep and moving exploration of the complexity of family life and the rewardsand burdensof ambition.
