| Smart kid equals bright future, right? Not so fast, says writer Paul Tough. If you connect the dots between the latest research in neuroscience, psychology and economics, IQ plays only a small part in a person's prospects. In reality, a child's grit and curiosity, optimism and perseverance may be far greater indicators of a bright and happy future. What is in an IQ, and what steers kids to success?
Guest: Paul Tough is the author, most recently, of How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character. He's been an editor at the New York Times Magazine and Harper's Magazine and has been a reporter and producer for "This American Life." He is the father of a 3-year old son. |
