Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua - A Short Summary & Review

A short summary of the book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother:

American parenting done Chinese-style strict.

My favorite Amy Chua quote from the book:

"Everything I’ve ever done that’s valuable is something I was afraid to try."

Questions I pondered while reading Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother:

Do we demand too much or too little from our children?

Is it possible to enjoy what I can't do well?

My review of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother:

Controversy-free books are boring.

Do we really have any right to judge the parenting styles of another parent?

I'm sure  I was NOT the parent of the year so there are no stones being thrown here.
