Summary of Esther Wojcicki's How To Raise Successful People

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I grew up in an Orthodox Jewish family, and I was expected to marry a rich Jewish man when I was eighteen and have lots of children. The fact that I had different goals caused a rift in my relationship with my grandfather. #2 The importance of men was illustrated to me when my brother Lee was born on May 23, 1945, three days before my fifth birthday. My parents brought him home on my birthday, and I could hardly contain my excitement when my father opened the door and led my mother inside. But my father told me something that still shocks me to this day. #3 I had a love of reading, and I would spend hours at the local public library. I also sold more Girl Scout cookies than any other girl in SunlandTujunga. I had no lessons, afterschool classes, or special performances, but the public school loaned me a violin and I dutifully practiced every night. #4 The death of David, my brother, set me on a path to think for myself and question authority. I wanted a different kind of life, one in which I was treated equally by men and women.
