Rebounders. How winners pivot from setback to success. Rick Newman. 2012. ISBN 9780345527837. A delightful and inspiring book. Based on unlikely ( yet famous) individuals who showed great resiliency, this is a collection of hard tireless workers (often going way beyond the 10000 hours of mastery practise referenced in Outliers). The author shows how this resiliency (and his pal persistence) can be developed at an early age which “helicopter” parents seem determined to prevent. Youngsters should be encouraged to grow through hard work and practice while fighting their own battles. I could not agree more. The author is a journalist with US News and Report – and I do so enjoy it when a good writer puts a book like this out. Great for a 4 hour plane ride – you will not regret picking this book up. Suggested for parents, and leaders of all types
