    Summary: 
    Brad was inspired by the birth of his first son to curate this collection. The fifty-two featured figures represent the spectacular potential we all have within us to change the world. The format allows for reading straight through or at your own pace, and includes photos, quotes, brief biographies, and vignettes that highlight the single moment that made each person great. The heroes included in the book are men, women, historical, contemporary, athletes, actors, inventors, politicians, and so many more.
