Esther Wojcicki has three daughters; one heads YouTube, one founded 23andMe, and one teaches pediatrics at UCSF. In her new book How to Raise Successful People, she outlines five points of focus for parents and educators: trust, respect, independence, collaboration, and kindness, or TRICK. As part of a members-only series with Quartz, Wojcicki compiled a list of resources for raising successful leaders, along with her reasons for choosing them. Books “I recommend these books because they all show different but compatible aspects of TRICK and show that it is effective. When you read these books, you will see that the concepts are the same. It is helpful to read other experts and see what they are thinking.
