Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson, the authors of the book, have spent decades working with children and families.

The book includes case studies, examples, and exercises that parents can use to implement the book's strategies in their own homes. </p> <h2>The Benefits of Raising a Self-Driven Child</h2> <p> There are many benefits to raising a self-driven child. Self-driven children are more likely to: </p> <ul> <li>Be successful in school and in their careers.</li> <li>Be happy and well-adjusted.</li> <li>Make good choices and avoid risky behaviors.</li> <li>Be able to cope with stress and adversity.</li> <li>Be productive and responsible citizens.</li> </ul> <p> Raising a self-driven child is not easy, but it is one of the most important things you can do for your child's future.
