Make Magic: The Book of Inspiration You Didn't Know You Needed - Brad Meltzer - William Morrow & Company

''Based on bestselling author Brad Meltzer's viral commencement speech for his son's graduating class at the University of Michigan, Make Magic is the little book of hope for anyone who has ever wished for more. More authenticity. More empathy. More gratitude. A more fulfilling life. With charming, thoughtful insights from his remarkable life and career, Meltzer uses magic as allegory, sharing the secret that there are only four types of magic tricks: 1. you make something appear, 2. you make something disappear, 3. you make two things switch places, and 4. you turn one thing into something else-the hardest trick of all, transformation. Embracing each of these easy-to-follow tricks-and unleashing your kindness and empathy-will inspire you to craft a life filled with wonder and awe. Make Magic is an uplifting message from one of today's most inspiring voices''--
