About Nam Nguyen

Nam Nguyen is a Canadian author, strategist, and speaker exploring how parenting shapes civilization. Drawing on neuroscience, business strategy, and history, his books challenge readers to see the family as the true engine of human progress.

He is the author of Raising Genius: Mozart, Einstein, Jobs — The Price of Brilliance, Raising Future Leaders, and Perfect Parents Don’t Exist, with upcoming works including Kin: A History of Parenting and the Rise of Civilization.
