"The Harvard Formula for Raising Children: Children Learn on Their Own!" Ronald F. Ferguson / Tasha Robertson / Yumi Morita Price: ¥1600 A survey of Harvard students and graduates asking, "How were you raised?" Interesting facts were revealed one after another. "By the time I was in the third grade, I was studying on my own." "I wasn't praised much for good grades." "My siblings who were raised with me... not so much..." "We were poor, and we spent several years in a homeless shelter..." Through the "Harvard Upbringing Project" and other means, the book reveals eight "parenting formulas" discovered through interviews with over 200 successful people, including 120 Harvard students and graduates, and their parents. For each of the eight formulas, the book explains them with abundant examples from interviews and the latest research by the authors, who specialize in studying the academic achievement gap. The key to success that emerges from this is how parents interact with their children, which can be learned and nurtured by any parent, regardless of race, environment, education, or economic background. #Ronald F.

Or do you want to wait and get two later?" This is the Marshmallow Test, one of the most famous tests in behavioral science. Walter Mischel, the author of this book and the creator of the test, tracked the children who could and could not resist eating the marshmallow for half a century, and investigated the relationship between self-control and "success." Are children who succeed in life predetermined? Or is it not? This long-awaited book, written by the creator of the Marshmallow Test himself, describes the mysteries of human behavior that have been revealed through years of follow-up research. #Walter Mischel #Hiroyuki Shibata #Hiroyuki_Shibata #book #psychology/psychology
