ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Triple Package: How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in America by Amy Chua and Jed Rubenfeld investigates the phenomenon of differential success among groups in the United States. The authors propose that certain groups possess a potent cultural combination of three elements: a sense of group superiority, a feeling of insecurity, and strong impulse control. This "Triple Package" purportedly generates a powerful drive for achievement, leading to disproportionate success in areas like wealth and status. The narrative explores how these traits manifest in various cultural groups, examining their historical context and societal impact. It delves into the intricate interplay of these seemingly contradictory qualities and their role in shaping upward mobility in America.
