New Releases by Adam Grant

#1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant illuminates the surprising science behind strong connections A vibe—a special connection between people that creates a spark—is an engine of happiness and success. Yet building meaningful ties is one of the most pressing problems of our time. As social media forces face-to-face interaction behind digital screens, communication gets outsourced to AI, and the world becomes more polarized than ever, our loneliness crisis shows no signs of slowing. To reveal how we can forge faster, stronger, and longer bonds, Grant offers groundbreaking studies, expert insights, and myth-busting stories. Filled with the eye-opening takeaways that have brought millions of readers to his books, Vibe teaches us that similarity is not necessary for solidarity, chemistry doesn’t always happen quickly, and closeness doesn’t always take time. Along the way, Grant introduces us to a crew of astronauts who learned to trust people they don’t like, a comedy troupe that swears by taking time apart as a key to staying together, a band that grew closer by learning to fight more, and a journalist who designed a gathering that led to seventy-eight marriages. He also opens up about his personal struggles to find his place as a shy introvert and the lessons that propelled his transformation into an enthusiastic convener. Through these examples and more, Grant uncovers the keys to creating deeper relationships and tighter communities. Vibe will change how you approach your interactions. No matter how good you are at connecting, you can always get better—and help others get better too.

Existuje milion důvodů, proč by životní koučka Goldie Collinsová neměla chodit s Fletcherem Huxleym. Fletcher je nabručená legenda ragby, která se po nepovedeném angažmá v zámoří snaží znovu nastartovat kariéru v Americe. Možná má stehna jako hrom, přitažlivá tetování a zadek z oceli, ale taky je jedním z Goldiiných největších nepřátel. Ovšem jeho nápad má jedno obrovské plus – Fletcher je novým spoluhráčem Goldiina bratra Silase. A ti dva se už teď nesnášejí. Navíc si Silas zvykl míchat se sestře do milostného života – a to neměl dělat. Takže jít spolu na rande, jen aby vytočila bráchu? Zatímco si Fletcher bude myslet, že to jejich týmu pomůže? Goldie neváhá. Za měsíc se stěhuje za prací do Londýna a bude to přece jenom jedna schůzka. Co by se mohlo pokazit?

Kita hidup di dunia yang terobsesi dengan bakat. Kita memuja-muja siswa berbakat di sekolah, atlet genius dalam olahraga, dan anak ajaib dalam musik. Namun, mengagumi orang-orang yang memulai sesuatu dengan keunggulan bawaan lahir membuat kita mengabaikan jarak yang bisa kita tempuh untuk mencapai kejayaan. Kita meremehkan berbagai keterampilan yang bisa kita pelajari dan seberapa jauh kita bisa berkembang. Hidden Potential menawarkan kerangka kerja baru untuk meningkatkan aspirasi dan melampaui ekspektasi. Adam Grant merangkai bukti-bukti inovatif, wawasan mengejutkan, dan penceritaan detail yang membawa kita dari ruang kelas hingga ruang rapat direksi, taman bermain hingga Olimpiade, dan ruangan bawah tanah hingga luar angkasa. Dia menunjukkan bahwa kemajuan tidak bergantung pada seberapa keras Anda berusaha, melainkan seberapa baik Anda belajar. Pertumbuhan bukanlah tentang kegeniusan yang Anda miliki—tetapi tentang karakter yang Anda kembangkan. Buku ini mengeksplorasi cara membangun keterampilan karakter dan struktur motivasi untuk mewujudkan potensi diri kita, serta cara merancang system yang menciptakan peluang bagi mereka yang selama ini diremehkan dan diabaikan. Ukuran sebenarnya dari potensi Anda bukanlah seberapa tinggi puncak yang telah Anda capai, melainkan seberapa jauh Anda telah berusaha mendaki untuk mencapainya.

El autor del bestseller Piénsalo otra vez nos explica cómo sacar el máximo de nosotros mismos y de los demás para lograr cosas inimaginables Este libro comienza con un pequeño milagro: en 1991, un grupo de chicos afroamericanos de un conflictivo instituto de Harlem ganó al todopoderoso colegio privado Dalton en el Campeonato Nacional de Ajedrez para Alumnos de Secundaria. Detrás de ese éxito inesperado se encontraba el joven maestro ajedrecista Maurice Ashley, que demostró dos cosas: que el talento no es innato y que la motivación y el desarrollo del carácter son clave para el éxito, incluso cuando todo parece estar en contra. El psicólogo organizacional Adam Grant está convencido de que querer es poder, pero también es consciente de que, en ocasiones, uno puede perder de vista sus objetivos y venirse abajo ante las adversidades. Es ahí cuando entra en juego la educación como gran agente revulsivo. Como el propio autor confiesa, «si hubiera juzgado mi potencial por mis primeros fracasos, me habría rendido enseguida. Lo que aprendí por el camino me ayudó a crear mis propios andamiajes para avanzar en el futuro». A través de anécdotas de gran valor testimonial y de su larga experiencia como investigador y docente, Grant apuesta por la importancia de la educación del carácter, la motivación y la igualdad de oportunidades para formar personas que no sólo logren tener éxito, sino que además se sientan realizadas.

Rien ne nous empêche de devenir ce que nous voulons... à part nous-même ! Contrairement aux idées reçues, avoir du talent ne tient pas du miracle : nous sommes tous capables de bien plus que ce que nous pensons ! Pour ce faire, il faut accepter de sortir de sa zone de confort et laisser réellement libre cours à toutes ses aspirations. À travers une série d’études scientifiques et sociologiques, accompagnées de récits inspirants allant des écoles primaires aux entretiens de la Nasa, Adam Grant nous montre comment développer nos « qualités de caractère », celles qui transcendent notre personnalité, boostent notre motivation et nous propulsent vers les sommets. Nous pouvons tous nous dépasser, déjouer les pronostics et atteindre des objectifs qui nous paraissaient inaccessibles. Découvrez comment, tel un diamant brut que l’on polit, le talent se crée. ADAM GRANT enseigne le management et les théories comportementales à l’université de Wharton. Il est l’un des fondateurs du Next Big Idea Club, aux côtés de Daniel Pink, Malcolm Gladwell et Susan Cain, et il apparaît régulièrement dans les classements des auteurs les plus influents. Ses ouvrages, vendus à plusieurs millions d’exemplaires dans le monde, sont traduits dans 45 langues.

>>„Tato skvělá kniha rozbije vaše představy o tom, co je třeba ke zlepšení a úspěchu.“ — Serena Williams, vítězka 23 grandslamů ve dvouhře<< # O knize Čím je determinován úspěch? Talentem, každodenní dřinou, nebo snad rodinným zázemím? Adam Grant nabízí překvapivý pohled na to, jak můžeme sebe i ostatní pozvednout do nečekaných výšin. Růst totiž vyžaduje mnohem víc než pouhý trénink a nastavení mysli. Závisí především na sadě dovedností, které bohužel nevědomky přehlížíme. Na základě rozsáhlých výzkumů i skutečných příběhů Grant dokazuje, že náš pokrok nespočívá ani tak v tvrdé práci, jako v rozvinutí schopnosti učit se novým věcem. Vysvětluje, jak v tomto směru posilovat charakter, vytvářet si motivační struktury a také jak napomáhat rozvíjení potenciálu v týmech, organizacích či školách. # V knize se dále dozvíte: - Váš růst nezáleží tolik na vrozené genialitě, jako na charakteru, který si vypěstujete. - Pokud se chcete zlepšovat, nežádejte ostatní o zpětnou vazbu, nýbrž o radu. - Proč vítězí záměrná hra a harmonická vášeň nad urputností a biflováním. - Data dokazují, že nejvíc se rozvíjíme, když pomáháme ve zlepšování ostatním. - Proč k plnému využití kolektivní inteligence týmu zdaleka nestačí brainstorming. - Každý z nás má v sobě skrytý potenciál – zjistěte, jak ho najít a využít v jakémkoli věku. # O autorovi Adam Grant (* 1981) přednáší psychologii a management na Pensylvánské univerzitě, jako konzultant pracuje mimo jiné pro Google, NBA nebo Gates Foundation. Je autorem bestselleru Ještě to promysli, tvůrcem podcastů a jedním z nejoblíbenějších řečníků na TED Talks. S manželkou Allison a třemi dětmi žije ve Filadelfii. # Více o knize melvil.cz/kniha-skryty-potencial

A Ciência das Grandes Conquistas Valorizamos os alunos superdotados na escola, os maiores atletas no desporto e as crianças prodígio na música. Num mundo que cada vez mais glorifica os "vencedores", esta é a verdade inquestionável: vivemos obcecados por talentos. Admirar esses, os que começam com vantagens inatas, leva-nos, muitas vezes, a não ter a noção da distância que nós próprios podemos percorrer. E todos, sem exceção, podemos ser mais e melhor. Adam Grant, autor bestseller internacional, diz-nos em Potencial Escondido como sonhar mais alto e superar expectativas. Com exemplos da sala de aula à sala de reuniões, do jardim infantil às Olimpíadas, do subsolo ao espaço sideral, este livro confirma que o crescimento pessoal não se prende com a genialidade inata, mas sim com o desenvolvimento de caráter e estruturas motivacionais. O que diz a crítica: "Um livro brilhante, que estilhaça as ideias preconcebidas sobre o que é preciso para ter sucesso." Serena Williams "Um livro que nos ensina a alcançar novos níveis de domínio e a desbloquear o nosso maior recurso: a nossa humanidade." Yo-Yo Ma, violoncelista "Este livro notável revela o que é preciso para se tornar uma versão melhor de si mesmo. Adam Grant indica o caminho para desenvolver talentos que antes pareciam além das suas capacidades, bem como para atingir metas que antes pareciam fora de alcance. James Clear, autor de Hábitos Atómicos "Li Potencial Escondido de uma assentada. Adorei-o e tenho pensado nele desde então, o que é o maior elogio que posso fazer a um livro. Este é o melhor trabalho do Adam Grant que irá inspirá-lo a alcançar sonhos maiores." Malcolm Gladwell, autor de A Chave do Sucesso "Um livro que deve ser lido por pais, líderes, treinadores... Adam Grant revela-lhe que tudo o que pensa sobre desenvolver o potencial está errado." Mark Cuban, empreendedor "Adam Grant leva o leitor num tour rápido pelos fatores que levam ao sucesso... Políticos e gestores deveriam prestar especial atenção à secção final do livro: como erguer estruturas que criem oportunidades para todos." Financial Times

Viele Autoren haben die Gewohnheiten von Supertalenten beschrieben, die Spitzenleistungen erbringen. Doch Adam Grant zeigt: Wir alle können Großes erreichen! Denn unser Fortschritt hängt nicht davon ab, wie hart wir arbeiten, sondern davon, wie gut wir lernen. Unsere Entwicklung ist keine Frage der Talente, die uns gegeben sind, sondern der Einstellung. Grants Forschungen beweisen: Wenn wir gezielt unsere vorhandenen Fähigkeiten stärken und neue Motivationsstrukturen aufbauen, können wir unsere verborgenen Potenziale heben und Dinge erreichen, die wir nicht für möglich gehalten hätten!

Bestsellerauteur over het benutten van je verborgen potentieel. Voor lezers van Atomic habits van James Clear, Grip van Rick Pastoor en Outliers van Malcolm Gladwell We leven in een wereld die geobsedeerd is door talent. We bewonderen getalenteerde studenten, atleten die schijnbaar moeiteloos tot wereldprestaties komen en wonderkinderen in de muziek. Maar het bewonderen van mensen die beginnen met aangeboren voordelen leidt ertoe dat we niet zien wat we zelf zouden kunnen bereiken. We onderschatten hoe goed we zouden kunnen worden als we nieuwe vaardigheden leren. We kunnen allemaal beter worden in het verbeteren van onszelf. Gebaseerd op wetenschappelijke inzichten en aan de hand van inspirerende verhalen laat Adam Grant zien hoe je jezelf en anderen kunt uitdagen om hoger te mikken en meer te bereiken dan je ooit voor mogelijk had gehouden. Vooruitgang hangt minder af van hoe hard je werkt dan van hoe goed je leert. Groei gaat niet over het genie dat je bezit - het gaat over het karakter dat je ontwikkelt. Grant onderzoekt hoe je de karaktereigenschappen en motivatiestructuren kunt opbouwen om je eigen potentieel te realiseren. En hoe je systemen kunt ontwerpen om kansen te creëren voor mensen die over het hoofd worden gezien en onderschat. De talenten en gewoontes van supersterren zijn al vaak beschreven. Dit boek onthult hoe iedereen in staat is om grote dingen te bereken. De echte maatstaf voor je potentieel is niet de hoogte van de piek die je hebt bereikt, maar hoe ver je bent geklommen om daar te komen.

Dalam Originals, Adam Grant membahas tantangan untuk memperbaiki dunia, tetapi dari perspektif menjadi orisinal: memilih untuk memperjuangkan ide dan nilai-nilai baru yang melawan arus, melawan konformitas, dan menentang tradisi yang sudah usang. Bagaimana kita dapat menciptakan ide, kebijakan, dan praktik baru tanpa mempertaruhkan semuanya? Menggunakan studi dan kisah mengejutkan yang mencakup bisnis, politik, olahraga, dan hiburan, Grant mengeksplorasi cara mengenali ide yang baik, berbicara tanpa dibungkam, membangun koalisi, memilih waktu yang tepat untuk bertindak, dan mengelola rasa takut serta keraguan. Grant juga menunjukkan bagaimana orangtua dan guru dapat memupuk orisinalitas pada anak-anak; juga bagaimana para pemimpin dapat membangun budaya yang menyambut perbedaan pendapat. Kita diajak untuk belajar dari seorang pengusaha yang mempresentasikan startup-nya dengan menyoroti alasan untuk tidak berinvestasi, seorang karyawan wanita di Apple yang menantang Steve Jobs, seorang analis yang membalikkan aturan kerahasiaan di CIA, dan seorang miliarder ahli keuangan yang memecat karyawan karena gagal mengkritiknya. Hasilnya adalah serangkaian wawasan inovatif tentang menolak konformitas dan memperbaiki status quo. *** “Penuh dengan wawasan baru tentang berbagai topik yang penting bagi kehidupan pribadi dan profesional kita.” —The New York Times DealBook “Originals adalah salah satu buku terpenting dan paling menarik yang pernah saya baca, penuh dengan ide-ide yang mengejutkan dan ampuh. Buku ini tidak hanya akan mengubah cara Anda melihat dunia; buku ini mungkin juga akan mengubah cara Anda menjalani hidup. Dan buku ini bisa sangat menginspirasi Anda untuk mengubah dunia Anda.” —Sheryl Sandberg, COO Facebook dan penulis Lean In #Penulis: Adam Grant #Penerbit: Penerbit Gramedia Pustaka Utama #Tahun Terbit: 2026 #Alih Bahasa: Almadiva Raissa Putri #Editor: Heru Margianto #Desain Sampul: Suprianto #ISBN: 978-602-06-8783-4 #ISBN Digital: 978-602-06-8784-1 (PDF) #Kategori: Bisnis & Ekonomi 16+ #Deskripsi Ringkas: Buku ini membahas tentang bagaimana individu dapat mengidentifikasi ide-ide orisinal dan mengambil tindakan untuk memperjuangkannya tanpa mengabaikan realitas, serta cara pemimpin menciptakan budaya yang mendukung perbedaan pendapat dan inovasi.

#1 New York Times Bestseller “This brilliant book will shatter your assumptions about what it takes to improve and succeed. I wish I could go back in time and gift it to my younger self. It would’ve helped me find a more joyful path to progress.” —Serena Williams, 23-time Grand Slam singles tennis champion The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again illuminates how we can elevate ourselves and others to unexpected heights. We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door. Hidden Potential offers a new framework for raising aspirations and exceeding expectations. Adam Grant weaves together groundbreaking evidence, surprising insights, and vivid storytelling that takes us from the classroom to the boardroom, the playground to the Olympics, and underground to outer space. He shows that progress depends less on how hard you work than how well you learn. Growth is not about the genius you possess—it’s about the character you develop. Grant explores how to build the character skills and motivational structures to realize our own potential, and how to design systems that create opportunities for those who have been underrated and overlooked. Many writers have chronicled the habits of superstars who accomplish great things. This book reveals how anyone can rise to achieve greater things. The true measure of your potential is not the height of the peak you’ve reached, but how far you’ve climbed to get there.

Aprenda a questionar as suas opiniões para alcançar a excelência no trabalho e a sabedoria na vida. Recomendado por Bill Gates. «Pensar Melhor é uma leitura obrigatória para quem deseja criar uma cultura de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento, seja em casa, no trabalho ou na escola. Num mundo cada vez mais pidido, as lições deste livro são mais importantes do que nunca.» — Bill e Melinda Gates. A inteligência é vista como a capacidade de pensar e aprender, mas num mundo em rápida mudança há outro conjunto de competências cognitivas que importa ressaltar: a capacidade de repensar e de desaprender. No dia a dia, tendemos a preferir o conforto da convicção ao desconforto da dúvida, e é normal preferimos ouvir opiniões que nos fazem sentir bem em vez de ideias que nos fazem pensar. E por isso rodeamo-nos de pessoas que concordam connosco, quando deveríamos procurar quem desafia o nosso processo de pensamento. O psicólogo organizacional Adam Grant é especialista em abrir a mente das pessoas, e tem por princípio argumentar como se estivesse certo, mas ouvir como se estivesse errado. Neste livro, revela que ser inteligente não é necessariamente uma bênção. Quanto mais brilhantes somos, mais cegos nos podemos tornar às nossas limitações. É por isso que, se o conhecimento é poder, então, saber o que não sabemos é sabedoria. «Brilhante! Vai seguramente fazê-lo repensar as suas decisões mais importantes.» - Daniel Kahneman, Prémio Nobel de Economia

Psychologische studie over menselijk gedrag als doorslaggevende factor voor succes op allerlei gebied.

Por lo general, asumimos que la inteligencia es la habilidad de pensar y aprender, pero en un mundo que cambia rápidamente como el actual, las habilidades para repensar y desaprender empiezan a valorarse más. Muchas personas privilegian la comodidad y la convicción por encima de la incomodidad y la duda; escuchan solo aquellas opiniones que les hacen sentir bien, en vez de las ideas que los desafían; ven el desacuerdo como una amenaza para su ego, en vez de una oportunidad para aprender; se rodean de personas que apoyan sus puntos de vista, en vez de gravitar en torno a sus contradictores. Cuanto más brillantes se creen, menos ven sus propias limitaciones. En este libro, el psicólogo organizacional Adam Grant, autor del bestseller mundial Originales (Paidós Empresa, 2017), muestra por qué no debemos creer todo aquello que pensamos ni tomarnos a pecho todo lo que sentimos, al tiempo que explica las ventajas de aprender a vivir en un estado de permanente aprendizaje y cuestionamiento. Piénsalo otra vez es una invitación para soltar aquello que no sirve y privilegiar la flexibilidad mental por encima de la rigidez obstinada y paralizante. Si el conocimiento empodera, saber que no lo sabemos todo, nos hace sabios.

Imparare a mettere in discussione le proprie opinioni e aprire la mente degli altri è un’arte che può permetterci di raggiungere l’eccellenza sul lavoro e la saggezza nella vita. L’intelligenza è di solito vista come la capacità di pensare e imparare, ma in un mondo in rapido cambiamento c’è un’altra serie di abilità cognitive che potrebbe essere più importante: la capacità di ripensare e disimparare. Nella vita quotidiana troppi di noi preferiscono la comodità della convinzione al disagio del dubbio. Ascoltiamo le opinioni che ci fanno sentire bene, invece delle idee che ci costringono a impegnarci in una riflessione. Vediamo la divergenza di opinioni come una minaccia al nostro ego, piuttosto che come un’opportunità per imparare. Ci circondiamo di persone che sono d’accordo con le nostre conclusioni, quando dovremmo gravitare verso coloro che sfidano il nostro processo di pensiero. Il risultato è che le nostre convinzioni diventano fragili molto prima delle nostre ossa. L’intelligenza non è un buon rimedio e può anche essere una maledizione: è provato che essere bravi a pensare può renderci peggiori nel ripensare. Più brillanti siamo, più ciechi ai nostri limiti possiamo diventare. Da psicologo organizzativo, Adam Grant è un esperto nell’aprire la mente degli altri e la nostra, e uno dei principi guida nella sua attività di professore a Wharton è quello di argomentare come se avesse ragione ma ascoltare come se avesse torto. Con idee audaci e prove rigorose indaga su come possiamo abbracciare la gioia di avere torto, sfruttare i vantaggi sorprendenti della sindrome dell’impostore, introdurre sfumature nelle conversazioni più impegnative e costruire scuole, luoghi di lavoro e comunità di persone che continuano ad apprendere per tutta la vita. Imparerete come un campione internazionale di dibattito vince le discussioni, come un musicista nero persuade i suprematisti bianchi ad abbandonare l’odio, come un «sussurratore di vaccini» convince i genitori preoccupati a immunizzare i loro figli, e come Adam ha persuaso i fan degli Yankees a tifare per i Red Sox. Pensaci ancora rivela che non dobbiamo credere a tutto ciò che pensiamo o interiorizzare tutto ciò che sentiamo. È un invito ad abbandonare i punti di vista che non ci servono più e a privilegiare la flessibilità mentale, l’umiltà e la curiosità rispetto alla sciocca coerenza. Se la conoscenza è potere, sapere ciò che non sappiamo è saggezza.

Internationale bestsellerauteur Adam Grant over de waarde van heroverwegen en de kracht van twijfel. Als kennis macht is, is weten wat niet je niet weet wijsheid. Intelligentie wordt meestal gezien als het vermogen om te denken en te leren, maar in een snel veranderende wereld zijn er nog andere cognitieve vaardigheden die er misschien meer toe doen: het vermogen om te heroverwegen en af te leren. Te veel mensen verkiezen het comfort van een overtuiging boven het ongemak van twijfel. Adam Grant is een expert in het veranderen van de manier waarop we denken. Met gedurfde ideeën en gedegen onderzoek laat hij zien hoe we de vreugde van ongelijk hebben kunnen omarmen, geladen gesprekken kunnen nuanceren en scholen, werkplekken en gemeenschappen van levenslange leerlingen kunnen bouwen. Als kennis macht is, is weten wat we niet weten wijsheid.

„Le recomand această carte minunată oamenilor din întreaga lume. Nimeni nu poate evita tristeţea, pierderile sau dezamăgirile vieţii, prin urmare, cea mai bună variantă este să ne găsim Planul B.“ MALALA YOUSAFZAI, câștigătoare a Premiului Nobel pentru Pace „Sheryl scrie despre propria experienţă devastatoare cu o sinceritate nemaiîntâlnită. Iar cu ajutorul lui Adam, își transformă povestea personală într-un ghid practic și convingător pentru oricine încearcă să dezvolte rezilienţa în propria viaţă, comunitate și companie. Este greu pentru un autor să ajungă la inimile cititorilor, dar este și mai dificil să îi ajute să ia măsuri concrete pentru un viitor mai bun. Planul B le face pe amândouă.“ BILL și MELINDA GATES, copreședinţi ai Fundaţiei Bill și Melinda Gates „Planul B este, în aceeași măsură, o carte plină de speranţă și sfâșietoare. Cuprinde povești despre durere și pierderi inimaginabile, dar vorbește și despre modul în care oamenii au totuși capacitatea de a îndura și chiar de a evolua. Această carte nu este numai o lectură captivantă, ci oferă și lecţii pe care toată lumea trebuie să le înveţe.“ ATUL GAWANDE, autorul cărţii Suntem muritori.

Persistence and creativity can lead to amazing things, as Leif the leaf discovers in this lovely storybook from Allison Sweet Grant and Adam Grant, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Originals. Leif is a leaf. A worried leaf. It is autumn, and Leif is afraid to fall. "All leaves fall in the fall," say the other leaves. But Leif is determined to find a different way down, and with his friend Laurel, he uses the resources around him to create a net, a kite, a parachute in hopes of softening his landing. The clock is ticking, the wind is blowing. What will happen when a gust of wind pulls Leif from his branch? In a culture that prizes achievement, kids are often afraid to fail--failing to realize that some of the very ideas that don't work are steps along the path to ones that will.

In the tradition of Goodnight Gorilla, the words are intentionally spare. The book is meant to be read interactively, with adults posing questions so kids can guess what's happening (and why). Praised by both parents and teachers for sparking imagination and eliciting discussion, the story can be interpreted differently in every family, by every child, and reinterpreted many times over. Give the gift of this clever, earnest book about generosity--a new and nourishing fable for every child's library (and one that includes a delightfully innovative cover approach that requires the reader to unfasten the Velcroed cover for a fun unboxing effect!). It's a gift that keeps on giving. "Truly phenomenal . . . Kristen [Bell]'s favorite book we've read to the kids in a year." --Dax Shepard of the podcast "Armchair Expert"
