Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua

I enjoyed the perspective on how she raises her kids. I found the idea of making sure your kids excel in the thing you choose for them, so that they /then/ fall in love with the hobby (really, they're falling in love with the feeling of excelling). The failure mode of this sort of parenting is also made clear, when the mom succeeds with one of her children but gets burnt with another. I found this lens on parenting fascinating.
