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.

我在美国做妈妈:耶鲁法学院教授的育儿经
【这是掐头去尾的洁版,为的是少走一遍豆瓣娘的程序。完整的在此:http://hutianyi.net/?p=2272】 有道是“盛世出国虎,虎啸振国威”。上个月,一个叫蔡美儿,人称“虎妈”的耶鲁法学院终身教授因为写了本带有自传性质的育儿书《虎妈的战歌》(Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mothe...
评分世上就有这样夸张炫耀爱折腾的人,写书本身首先是这种张扬的极致,其次是对自己病态心理的自我诊疗。所以一边是倔强自负,一边是调侃自嘲。从她的极端作风中反映出移民人生的煎熬挣扎骄傲反抗。她用顽强奋斗的刀刃刻写了荣誉的奖杯,也在孩子和自己心上刻下深深的伤痕。

评分我一直在想我應該站在一個同理作者的立場還是應該站在子女的角度來去評論這本書?其實這並非兩個不相干涉的角度,當我能同理蔡美兒的同時,腦中另一個聲音就嚷嚷得越大聲:「你所有的做法都是以你的角度出發的,你說你做的這些都是為了女兒,但重點並不在你犧牲了多少又奉獻了...
有得必有失,关键不是看你如何选择而是你是否有选择的权利。
评分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 :')
评分三星半,coda不错
评分This book aroses a lot of my different kinds of feelings. My teers are falling, cause it's reminds the hurts from my parents, and the pain in my growing experiences. However, at the same time, at this age, I definitely appreciate my parents, their sacrifice, their love, their expectation.And I am so glad that I can be their child.
评分真心反感這樣的parenting style,真心反感書裡多次出現的一杆子打死
