A very interesting correlation. As for the cause & effect goes resilient behavior is well explained and I buy that argument. However what strikes me the most is not about the traits dysfunctional families force you to develop but the part he notes "those who have channeled all the chaos for a positive effect" - a very small percentage does. And they have channeled all this into whatever activity they could find outside of their home – sports, business, or …entrepreneurship." Even a high number of criminals, under world dons and other socially unacceptable traits are also correlated highly to dysfunctional families. They too are resilient and in fact have a lot of traits that entrepreneurs have except for the value system, a socially acceptable behavior & positive contribution. A very small percentage of dysfunctional families would generate great entrepreneurs and I would like to believe that this is just a correlation. One is probably better off to grow in proper functional and stable families but with good exposure/support to possess necessary traits. Edit: Additionally an unstable or dysfunctionally childhood even among those small percentage might have caused them to have extreme bahaviours on rudeness, temper, patience, trust etc. which is very adverse for startups.
