Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

â€œ[E]ntertaining, bracingly honest and, yes, thought-provoking.â€â€”The New York Times Book Review

At once provocative and laugh-out-loud funny, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother ignited a global parenting debate with its story of one motherâ€™s journey in strict parenting.Â Amy Chua argues thatÂ Western parenting tries to respect and nurture childrenâ€™s individuality, while Chinese parents typically believe that arming children with skills, strong work habits, and inner confidence prepares them best for the future.Â Â Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother chronicles Chuaâ€™s iron-willed decision to raise her daughters, Sophia and Lulu, the Chinese way â€“ and the remarkable, sometimes heartbreakingÂ results her choice inspires.Â Achingly honest and profoundly challenging, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is one of the most talked-about books of our times.

â€œFew have the guts to parent in public. Amy [Chua]'s memoir is brutally honest, and her willingness to share her struggles is a gift. Whether or not you agree with her priorities and approach, she should be applauded for raising these issues with a thoughtful, humorous and authentic voice.â€ â€”Time Magazine

â€œ[A] riveting readâ€¦ Chua's story is far more complicated and interesting than what you've heard to date -- and well worth picking upâ€¦ I guarantee that if you read the book, there'll undoubtedly be places where you'll cringe in recognition, and others where you'll tear up in empathy.â€ â€”San Francisco Chronicle

â€œBattle Hymn of the Tiger Mother hit the parenting hot button, but also a lot more, including people's complicated feelings about ambition, intellectualism, high culture, the Ivy League, strong women and America's standing in a world where China is ascendant. Chua's conviction that hard work leads to inner confidence is a resonant one.â€â€”Chicago Tribune

â€œReaders will alternately gasp at and empathize with Chua's struggles and aspirations, all the while enjoying her writing, which, like her kid-rearing philosophy, is brisk, lively and no-holds-barred. This memoir raises intriguing, sometimes uncomfortable questions about love, pride, ambition, achievement and self-worth that will resonate among success-obsessed parentsâ€¦ Readers of all stripes will respond to [Battle Hymn of the] Tiger Mother.â€â€”The Washington Post
