What My Parents Never Taught Me: The Unorthodox Guide To Raising Leaders And Geniuses

by Alex Fink

Most people are pretty average in most skills; and average is usually pretty bad. I want to explore what it takes to grow into an exceptional person. Not above-average, not pretty-good, not even great, but truly exceptional. From my own experience with the multiple elements in my childhood that clearly worked, excellence is achievable with the right upbringing, and it was only my parents' cultural environment that limited them – they got the vast majority of the relevant elements right, but some things were simply beyond their imagination. Every item in every chapter of this book will aim to get your children into the top 5% in some important skill. It is the synergistic combination of all these skills that will eventually give them the tools to surpass their competition in any vocation they choose.
