“All right. Michael. Peter. What do you know about the battle hymn of the tiger mother? We already learned from Malcolm Gladwell that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something. But this was the book that taught Americans you can also become an expert by someone else yelling at you for 10,000 hours.”
