Features: Virtues Shape a Child's Life – Happiness; Methods Create a Child's Destiny – Success. This set consists of two books: "The Virtue Book" and "The Learning Methods Book."
The Virtue Book: This book clearly and unambiguously introduces the 20 core virtues revered by Harvard: Justice, Self-esteem, Confidence, Self-discipline, Labor, Diligence, Courage, Perseverance, Wisdom, Hope, Tolerance, Empathy, etc. It provides concise yet insightful explanations, complemented by engaging and enjoyable stories. The combination of exposition and narrative achieves a heart-to-heart connection without preaching or conforming to popular trends, reaching deep into the soul with a subtle yet profound effect. How to cultivate virtues? The answer is simple. Virtues are built through action – "better to act than to preach"; through starting small – "without small streams, there can be no great rivers"; through repeated practice and continuous refinement to form habits – "Rome wasn't built in a day." In short, cultivating virtues requires devout belief and faithful practice.
Children are gifts from heaven to parents – parents' greatest hope, and gifts from heaven to humanity – the future of the human race. This book is a gift for children. Virtues shape a child's life – happiness; methods create a child's destiny – success. Wishing all children healthy growth, blooming into beautiful flowers of destiny, and achieving noble life values.
The Learning Methods Book: The content of this book is scientific, grounded in pedagogy, psychology (especially cognitive psychology and learning psychology), neuroscience, and epistemology, supported by experimental data, survey findings, and statistical analysis, all validated by practical experience. Any specific method in this book is not“18 learning tricks.” Those so-called "18 learning tricks" may sound inspiring but lack scientific basis. This book is universal. The methods presented are broadly applicable to learning any subject. For example, the Gaokao (China's college entrance exam) covers various question types, such as problem-solving, calculation, short-answer, analysis, discussion, argumentation, material analysis, multiple-choice, and fill-in-the-blank. From a problem-solving perspective, they can all be categorized into two types: problem-solving and proof-based questions, with the same fundamental methods being universal. Moreover, the problem-solving methods in school learning are the same as those used in real-world work and life.
This book is also systematic. Many people have their own learning methods, but they are often narrow, incomplete, fragmented, and disorganized. This book covers all levels and aspects of learning activities, incorporating fundamental knowledge of learning methods, structured according to the intrinsic logic of learning methods, clearly highlighting their systematic nature to help you build your own learning method system.
