Dr. Shimi Kang Biography

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.

Dr. Kang is a clinical associate professor at the University of British Columbia and the medical director of Child and Youth Mental Health for Vancouver. She has won numerous national awards for her work in mental health and addiction and has helped hundreds of children, adolescents, and adults move toward positive behaviors and better mental health.

  • Parenting in the 21st Century

  • Internal Drive is Lasting: The Art and Science of Human Motivation

  • Are you a Tiger, Jellyfish, or Dolphin? How to Best Collaborate and Motivate Others

  • The Dolphin Way: Finding Balance In an Unbalanced World

    How is it that the most informed generation of parents in human history are raising children with rising rates of anxiety, depression, obesity, and addiction? Given that all of these are human lifestyle conditions • do we need a reminder for what it means to live a human life? The intelligent, playful, joyful, and community-minded dolphin can certainly be that reminder. Dolphins are not authoritarian tiger-parents who push and hover nor are they permissive jellyfish parents. Dolphin parents’ use a balanced relationship and a balanced lifestyle to guide their children towards self motivation. This allows Dolphin kids to have what Tiger kids don’t – the ability to adapt by possessing the key 21st century skills of “CQ” • collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. Although these are the skills needed in our globally competitive, highly connected, and fast paced modern world, the Dolphin Way is not a new trend. The principles are as old as humanity itself as it is based upon how we are naturally motivated through powerful neurochemical pathways. "The Dolphin Way" will leave every parent with the one they can use with any child in every situation – their human intuition.
