"New York Times Bestseller " In TOP DOG, Bronson and Merryman again use their astonishing
blend of science and storytelling to reveal what's truly in the
heart of a champion. The joy of victory and the character-building
agony of defeat. Testosterone and the neuroscience of mistakes. Why
rivals motivate. How home field advantage gets you a raise. What
teamwork really requires. It's baseball, the SAT, sales contests,
and Linux. How before da Vinci and FedEx were innovators, first,
they were great competitors.
One of the most influential books about children ever published,
NurtureShock offers a revolutionary new perspective on children
that upends a library's worth of conventional wisdom. With
impeccable storytelling and razor-sharp analysis, the authors
demonstrate that many of modern society's strategies for nurturing
children are in fact backfiring--because key twists in the science
have been overlooked. Nothing like a parenting manual, NurtureShock
gets to the core of how we grow, learn and live.
What if we told you... that dishonesty in children is a positive trait that arguing in front of your kids can make you a good role model and that if you praise your children you risk making them fail ...and it was all true? Using a cutting-edge combination of behavioural psychology and neuroscience, award-winning journalists Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman have produced an innovative, counter-intuitive read that will change the way we interact with our children forever. They demonstrate that for years our best intentions with children have been our worst ideas, using break-through scientific studies to prove that our instincts and received wisdom are all wrong. Nurtureshock is the Freakonomics of childhood and adolescence, exploring logic-defying insights into child development that have far-reaching relevance for us all.
