書籍簡介

米歇爾·博爾巴（Michele Borba）一直是老師，教育顧問和父母，已有40年的歷史-她從來沒有像現在這樣擔心這一代孩子。她每天與之交談的高成就學生比以往任何時候都更有成就，更受教育並且享有更多特權。年輕人也越來越感到壓力，不快樂，並且在越來越年輕的年齡中正處於焦慮，抑鬱和倦怠的掙扎中“我們就像沒有東西的漂亮包裝，”一位年輕的青少年説。

欣欣向榮的人與眾不同：他們在我們快節奏的，數字化驅動的，常常是不確定的世界中蓬勃發展。為什麼？博爾巴博士梳理了有關抵禦能力的科學研究，與該領域的數十名研究人員/專家進行了交談，並採訪了來自各行各業的100多名年輕人，她發現了一些令人驚訝的發現：奮鬥者和成功者之間的差異下降了不是評分或測驗分數，而是七個使特里弗里斯人與眾不同的性格特徵（併為他們的幸福和更高成就打下基礎）。

這些特徵，自信，同理心，自制力，正直，好奇心，毅力和樂觀精神將使孩子們如履薄冰，一生成功。更好的消息是：這些特徵可以在任何年齡的孩子身上學習。事實上，父母和教育必須這樣做。在《興旺的人》一書中，博爾巴博士提供了實用，可行的方法來發展從學齡前到高中兒童的這些特徵，展示瞭如何教孩子們今天如何應對，以便他們明天能夠成長。

Michele Borba has been a teacher, educational consultant, and parent for 40 years -- and she's never been more worried than she is about this current generation of kids. The high-achieving students she talks with every day are more accomplished, better educated, and more privileged than ever before. They're also more stressed, unhappier, and struggling with anxiety, depression, and burnout at younger and younger ages -- "we're like pretty packages with nothing inside," said one young teen.

Thrivers are different: they flourish in our fast-paced, digital-driven, often uncertain world. Why? Dr. Borba combed scientific studies on resilience, spoke to dozens of researchers/experts in the field and interviewed more than 100 young people from all walks of life, and she found something surprising: the difference between those who struggle and those who succeed comes down not to grades or test scores, but to seven character traits that set Thrivers apart (and set them up for happiness and greater accomplishment later in life).

These traits--confidence, empathy, self-control, integrity, curiosity, perseverance, and optimism--will allow kids to roll with the punches and succeed in life. And the even better news: these traits can be taught to children at any age...in fact, parents and educations must do so. In Thrivers, Dr. Borba offers practical, actionable ways to develop these traits in children from preschool through high school, showing how to teach kids how to cope today so they can thrive tomorrow.
