Amy Chua is the John M. Duff Professor of Law at Yale Law School. Her first book, World on Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability, a New York Times bestseller, was selected by both The Economist and the U.K.'s Guardian as one of the Best Books of 2003. Her second book, Day of Empire: How Hyperpowers Rise to Global Dominance-and Why They Fall, was a critically acclaimed Foreign Affairs bestseller.
An awe-inspiring, often hilarious, and unerringly honest story of one mother's exercise in extreme parenting, revealing the rewards-and the costs-of raising her children the Chinese way.
All decent parents want to do what's best for their children. What Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother reveals is that the Chinese just have a totally different idea of how to do that. Western parents try to respect their children's individuality, encouraging them to pursue their true passions and providing a nurturing environment. The Chinese believe that the best way to protect your children is by preparing them for the future and arming them with skills, strong work habits, and inner confidence. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother chronicles Chua's iron-willed decision to raise her daughters, Sophia and Lulu, her way-the Chinese way-and the remarkable results her choice inspires.
Here are some things Amy Chua would never allow her daughters to do:
have a playdate
be in a school play
complain about not being in a school play
not be the #1 student in every subject except gym and drama
play any instrument other than the piano or violin
not play the piano or violin
The truth is Lulu and Sophia would never have had time for a playdate. They were too busy practicing their instruments (two to three hours a day and double sessions on the weekend) and perfecting their Mandarin.
Of course no one is perfect, including Chua herself. Witness this scene:
"According to Sophia, here are three things I actually said to her at the piano as I supervised her practicing:
1. Oh my God, you're just getting worse and worse.
2. I'm going to count to three, then I want musicality.
3. If the next time's not PERFECT, I'm going to take all your stuffed animals and burn them!"
But Chua demands as much of herself as she does of her daughters. And in her sacrifices-the exacting attention spent studying her daughters' performances, the office hours lost shuttling the girls to lessons-the depth of her love for her children becomes clear. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is an eye-opening exploration of the differences in Eastern and Western parenting- and the lessons parents and children everywhere teach one another.

世上就有這樣誇張炫耀愛摺騰的人,寫書本身首先是這種張揚的極緻,其次是對自己病態心理的自我診療。所以一邊是倔強自負,一邊是調侃自嘲。從她的極端作風中反映齣移民人生的煎熬掙紮驕傲反抗。她用頑強奮鬥的刀刃刻寫瞭榮譽的奬杯,也在孩子和自己心上刻下深深的傷痕。

簡單粗暴又很奉獻的麻麻 有結果是最好的激勵
評分一口氣讀完,她的確是比一般中國父母還嚴格的虎媽,如一切真如文中所描述,就不難理解前一陣她在川普大法官風波裏的小插麯(讓女學生穿得更漂亮等)。不管怎麼說,她的行動語言或許讓旁人反感,但我卻很理解也在方法論上贊同(勤能補拙等),如果不對孩子做要求隻是傻玩,那孩子也大概率沒有成就,可事實上是誰又忍心(或有能力執行)對孩子如虎媽般那麼狠呢?
評分很認同虎媽的教育理念,但並不覺得這是本好書。
評分真心反感這樣的parenting style,真心反感書裡多次齣現的一杆子打死
評分Despite its intention to be a funny self-parody, the book touched a soft spot of mine in a peculiar way. In a nutshell, hilarious & heartwarming :')
