For progress in human relationships, he explains that we must give up the punishing, relationship\u2013destroying external control psychology. For example, if you are in an unhappy relationship right now, he proposes that one or both of you could be using external control psychology on the other. He goes further. And suggests that misery is always related to a current unsatisfying relationship. Contrary to what you may believe, your troubles are always now, never in the past.

Why do some children succeed while others fail? The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. But in How Children Succeed<\/i>, Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter more have to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, optimism, and self-control.<\/p>\n

How Children Succeed<\/i> introduces us to a new generation of researchers and educators, who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character. Through their stories\u2014and the stories of the children they are trying to help\u2014Tough reveals how this new knowledge can transform young people\u2019s lives. He uncovers the surprising ways in which parents do\u2014and do not\u2014prepare their children for adulthood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
