Description

Ester Wojcicki, or as she’s usually called, Woj, is a human legend. She became famous for three circumstances. She taught at a school in Palo Alto, which changed the lives of thousands of children. She also inspired Silicon Valley megastars like Steve Jobs and worked as an education consultant at Google.

And she raised three daughters, each of whom became supremely successful: Susan—CEO of YouTube, Janet—a professor of pediatrics, and Anne—head of the genetic testing innovation company 23andMe. She named her innovative teaching approach the “5 Cs”: Self-trust, Self-respect, Independence, Collaboration, and Heart. This isn’t just a book about how to aim children toward success—it’s about how to teach them to be independent, not be afraid of difficulties and mistakes, and still remain truly kind people. But the biggest difference about Ester’s book is that her experience is confirmed 100% by life. The success and human qualities of her children and students are the best proof.
