HOW CHILDREN SUCCEED - PAUL TOUGH KARTONIERT (TB)

A persuasive wake-up call.--People A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the award-winning
journalist Paul Tough  a provocative and profound examination of childhood success and
character--an insightful study that reveals the power to transform young people's lives. Why do
some children succeed while others fail? The story we usually tell about childhood and success
is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests  from
preschool admissions to SATs. In How Children Succeed  Paul Tough argues that success has more
to do with character--skills like perseverance  curiosity  optimism  and self-control. In this
groundbreaking study  Tough introduces us to key researchers and educators  who  for the first
time  are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character. Through their
stories--and the stories of the children they are trying to help--Tough reveals how character
has the power to transform young people's lives. This provocative and profoundly hopeful book
will not only inspire and engage readers--it will also change our understanding of childhood
itself.
