Reviews

"How inspiring is it to know that there's a path to awesomeness and that anyone - absolutely anyone - can go down that path. This book shows you how." -- Carol Dweck, PhD, bestselling author of MINDSET

"Syed has an engaging writing style that avoids condescension. Fun facts, statistics, quotes, and stories of hard work and perseverance from "Famous Failures" are featured. Syed's belief that anyone can get good at something, and his explanation of his process, is realistic and encouraging. " -- School Library Journal

"The goal of this book is to help kids realize that they needn't necessarily be born with a certain gift or talent--that maybe success is a combination of hard work, the right mentors, and a strong support system. Syed offers a variety of ways a young person can begin to reflect on who they really are and define what their true passion may be. " -- Kirkus Reviews

"The visual design, featuring many dynamic fonts, inspirational quotes, and energetic drawings in black, gray, and yellow, succeeds in being upbeat and encouraging." -- Booklist
