Amy Chua: "a blend of insecurity, impulse control and a superiority complex makes some groups and individuals disproportionately successful"

My Week: Amy Chua
Wall Street Journal, 2/1/2015, p. C4

quote:

The Sudanese American Public Affairs Association invited me to give a conference keynote talk on "The Triple Package," the book I co-wrote last year with Jed, which argues that a blend of insecurity, impulse control and a superiority complex makes some groups and individuals disproportionately successful. 

I said yes because I love culture and people, especially ones who like me. As my favorite fictional character, Lucky Jim, said, "nice things are nicer than nasty ones."
