Happy Birthday, Amy Chua! May your special day be filled with joy, laughter, and perhaps a little less tiger-momming—just for today. Your fearless memoir "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" not only sparked global conversations but also made countless parents rethink piano lessons and math drills. Thanks to you, we now know that behind every successful child is an equally determined parent armed with discipline—and possibly sheet music.Beyond parenting wisdom, your insightful bestseller "World on Fire" continues to resonate deeply in today's complex world. You've brilliantly navigated academia's toughest debates while inspiring students at Yale University daily. Here's wishing you another year of groundbreaking ideas and fewer battles (unless they're literary). Happy birthday!
