I'm an American married to an immigrant and it explains so many things I have observed about the differences between me and my family's attitude and practices and my husband's. I I think this is really another book about Chua's theories of early childhood education, secreted inside a media baiting book full of clusters of cherry picked statistics and anecdotes about races and religions, but I'd argue that the actual countercultural assertion : The Triple Package: Why Groups Rise and Fall in America Audible Audio Edition: Amy Chua, Jed Rubenfeld, Jonathan Todd Ross, Penguin Audio: Books O livro aponta 3 fatores na socialização de grupos etnico culturais como explicação para seu desempenho econômico acima da média nos EUA: (1) um sentimento de inferioridade; (2) um sentimento de inferioridade; (3) ênfase no controle de impulsos.O complexo de inferioridade gera um sentimento de permanente insatisfação com situação econômico social do indivíduo, fazendo com que ele almeje (drive) subir na escada social, ganhar mais, prosperar, como forma de superar esse sentimento. O complexo de superioridade (que existe paradoxalmente de forma concomitante ao de inferioridade) faz com que os membros de alguns grupos tenham uma certeza inconsciente e profunda de sua capacidade acima da média, o que estimula maiores ambições, tomada de risco e ousadia na execução de suas metas. Por fim, o controle de impulsos se relaciona com a conscienciosidade principal traço de personalidade associado ao sucesso financeiro e reforça o sentimento de superioridade.O livro é cheio de exemplos, bem ao estilo de não ficcção americano, e é uma leitura fluida e agradável. and 2 more , Kindle, with membership trial , Hardcover, Paperback DANG! The secret is OUT! Now mediocrity can with some effort rise to a higher level! But, there is a silvery lining to that cynical dark cloud!

It may be taboo to say, but some groups in America do better than others. Mormons have recently risen to astonishing business success. Cubans in Miami climbed from poverty to prosperity in a generation. Nigerians earn doctorates at stunningly high rates. Indian and Chinese Americans have much higher incomes than other Americans; Jews may have the highest of all.

Why do some groups rise? Drawing on groundbreaking original research and startling statistics, The Triple Package uncovers the secret to their success. A superiority complex, insecurity, impulse control these are the elements of the Triple Package, the rare and potent cultural constellation that drives disproportionate group success. The Triple Package is open to anyone. America itself was once a triple package culture. It's been losing that edge for a long time now. Even as headlines proclaim the death of upward mobility in America, the truth is that the old fashioned American Dream is very much alive but some groups have a cultural edge, which enables them to take advantage of opportunity far than others.

Americans are taught that everyone is equal, that no group is superior to another. But remarkably, all of America’s most successful groups believe (even if they don’t say so aloud) that they’re exceptional, chosen, superior in some way.Americans are taught that self esteem feeling good about yourself is the key to a successful life. But in all of America’s most successful groups, people tend to feel insecure, inadequate, that they have to prove themselves.America today spreads a message of immediate gratification, living for the moment. But all of America’s most successful groups cultivate heightened discipline and impulse control.

But the triple package has a dark underside too. Each of its elements carries distinctive pathologies; when taken to an extreme, they can have truly toxic effects. Should people strive for the triple package? Should America? Ultimately, the authors conclude that the triple package is a ladder that should be climbed and then kicked away, drawing on its power but breaking free from its constraints.
