Books, Manuscripts
We're convinced that a good performance in school exams will lead to success later on in life. But what if we're wrong? In fact, studies are increasingly showing that the qualities most likely to ensure a better degree, a better job and, ultimately, a more fulfilling life are perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control. This title introduces us to a new generation of researchers and educators who are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character. Through their stories, Tough traces the links between childhood stress, childhood cosseting, and life success.
