Frank B. Gilbreth, the full name of the efficiency expert father, was the second-generation management master in the United States and the father of motion study in the history of world management. In his early years, he passed the entrance exam for MIT but did not enroll due to family difficulties. Starting as a bricklayer apprentice, he gradually became a construction engineer, general manager of a contracting company, an independent architectural contractor, and the father of motion study in management.
Frank's wife, Lillian Moller, graduated from the University of California and was one of the first women in the United States to receive a Ph.D. in psychology, known as the "Mrs. of Management." The authors of this book are a pair of children of the Gilbreth couple. They completed "The Efficiency Expert Dad" in 1948, which became the best-selling book of the year in the United States. In 1950, "The Efficiency Expert Dad" won the French World Humor Award. In the United States, the book is a gift for expressing affection between friends because it's hard to find a book that brings so much joy.
This family had fourteen members: the father, the mother, and twelve children. The father was an efficiency expert, and the mother was a psychologist. The family was like a school, where the father taught the children to learn foreign languages during bath time and practice mental arithmetic during meals. The kitchen walls of their home were covered with drawings of planets and various mysterious symbols, and the bedroom ceilings were filled with Morse code. Even their neighbors said, "They don't need to worry about fires—they are a fire department themselves!"
The father's innovative education was highly effective. The children excelled in school and later became experts and scholars. More importantly, it was a joyful family. Whenever possible, the father would play tricks and mischievous games with the children. When the children had measles and were lying in bed, the father, bored, drew red dots on his own face, nearly scaring the children's grandmother half to death. When the children wore uniforms to play outside and were mistaken for orphans, the father immediately announced himself as the director of an orphanage, claiming to be taking twelve orphans for a ride, making the elegant mother wish she could disappear into the ground. When the daughter attended a dance, the father insisted on going with her, causing quite a headache for the daughters.
