Dr. Shimi Kang is a Harvard-trained doctor, researcher, and lecturer on human motivation with more than fifteen years of clinical experience. With her extensive knowledge and experience in the science of motivation, Dr. Kang helps people of all ages cultivate the crucial skill set needed to succeed both professionally and personally. Her inspiring new book, The Dolphin Way: A Parent’s Guide to Raising Healthy, Happy, and Motivated Kids (Tarcher), offers practical advice on how to foster children’s own internal drive and a lifelong love of learning. Steering away from the pushy “tiger” parenting model, Dr. Kang proposes that parents emulate the highly social dolphin and focus on maintaining balance in their children’s lives to gently yet authoritatively guide them toward lasting health, happiness, and success. She has presented at hundreds of events and is a powerful keynote speaker for schools, parenting organizations, women’s groups, corporations, health and wellness conferences, and medical organizations. ^[1]
