A cheerful first look-and-point book about the zoo. For toddlers ages 12 months and up, with a focus on the world surrounding the child.

Look! The monkey is eating a banana, the penguins are walking on the ice, and the lion is sound asleep. What else do you see?

What if your ugliest scar could be your greatest asset?

What if your story of struggle could be repurposed into a strategic tool for healing, influence, and impact in this modern world of distraction, disengagement, and division?

New York Times bestselling author, retired Green Beret, and renowned strategic storyteller Scott Mann reveals how sharing your most difficult experiences can forge trust, inspire action, and create lasting change.

You've struggled. You have the scars to prove it. Those scars have something to say that is bigger and more impactful than all the wins and accomplishments you've accumulated. Those scars can reveal a story that the rest of the world needs to hear. You lie there staring at the ceiling at night, knowing you should put that message into the world. If only you could figure out how. If only you could craft and share a story worthy of the emotions pulsing through your veins right now. Then you could change lives. Maybe even save some.

The Generosity of Scars is for anyone who has struggled and wants to put their lived struggle to work in the service of others through authentic storytelling.

This book, the second in his leadership trilogy, is different than most books about crafting stories. It is forged from high-stakes arenas in Scott Mann's three decade body of work, ranging from his time as a Green Beret in combat zones in Afghanistan, to TED stages, to theatrical productions about war, to corporate keynotes, to congressional testimony, to raising millions for non-profits--and all points in between.

There is a growing demand across all industries to reclaim the lost art of storytelling for strategic influence. This book will give you everything you need to design and deliver a powerful scar story that raises your frequency above the Churn for authentic connection that inspires your people, teaches your associates, trains your new managers, persuades prospects and clients, and bridges gaps between you and your audience. When you re-purpose your scars into stories of struggle, you will be more authentic, relatable, and relevant--and that's what people follow.

There is generosity in a scar, if you are willing to pay the price. If so, then read on and change the world.

What separates the greatest athletes from the rest? Coachability.

"This book is for athletes, parents, coaches, and leaders who understand that growth doesn't happen alone."--Mike Krzyzewski

"A unique, impactful, and long-overdue book that draws on decades of reporting to explain what really distinguishes the great ones."--Sam Walker, author of The Captain Class

"Coachable is rooted in the belief that improvement is a shared journey. I've seen firsthand that the best players--and the best leaders--are the ones who remain teachable."--Kevin Love

Sports analyst Ric Bucher has spent the last three decades surrounded by some of the greatest athletes of our time. Over the years, he became obsessed with the ultimate question in sports and life: Which traits separate the best from the rest? He began asking that question, and the same answer kept coming back again and again from greats like Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Diana Taurasi, Brandi Chastain, and Stephen Curry: I was coachable.

Coachable? Yes, coachable. Of all the possible markers that contributed to their greatness, coachability emerged as the surprising X factor. So Bucher set out to explore this often overlooked aspect of the careers of every major athlete he could access and found stories that these stars have never revealed.

Coachable is organized around the 10 Truths of Coachability that every athlete, team leader, manager, coach, and parent needs to know. Each truth is dissected and illuminated through exclusive interviews and stories from legendary coaches like Gregg Popovich, Steve Kerr, and Coach K; all-time greats like Stephen Curry and Landon Donovan; the rising stars of tomorrow, like Rose Zhang and Paolo Banchero; and some of the athletes most known for maximizing their talent, like Fred VanVleet and Richard Jefferson. Taken together, the stories and insights in Coachable are a fascinating window into how we can improve at whatever we do.

Sincerity, erudition, charisma . . . Roddy McDowall.

Here is the comprehensive, first-ever biography of the award-winning child star, Planet of the Apes movie icon, beloved film legend, and Hollywood renaissance man whose career spanned 60 years.

"This is a beautiful tribute to a very special man. For those who aren't familiar with Roddy, you're in for a treat. You will get to know a man who was as kind as he was gifted." - CAROL BURNETT

As one of the very few naturally gifted child actors who graduated into adult roles with relative ease, Roddy McDowall exuded charm throughout a glorious Hollywood run that included film, television, and Broadway. John Ford's 1941 classic How Green Was My Valley put Roddy on the map at 12-years-old. It won Best Picture over Citizen Kane and is Clint Eastwood's favorite film of all time. But Roddy's biggest claim to fame was yet to come.

The phenomenally popular Planet of the Apes film series, which ran from 1968-1973, introduced him to a whole new generation of fans. In a career spanning 60 years, Roddy was also a professional photographer, producer and director, starstruck movie lover himself, and film preservationist. Among his treasured friends: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, Angela Lansbury, Judy Garland, Julie Andrews, Lauren Bacall, Montgomery Clift, Marlon Brando, Natalie Wood, and Rock Hudson. Openly gay among his peers, if not the public, Roddy was a trusted keeper of secrets as well. Loyal and authentic to the end, everyone in Hollywood loved Roddy McDowall.

Exhaustively researched and featuring exclusive interviews with those who knew him best, this first-ever biography from author Samuel Garza Bernstein charts the extraordinary trajectory of the London-born, award-winning actor--from a childhood in front of the cameras, to a break from the studio and his controlling stage mother, an awkward adolescence and growing awareness of his sexuality, to eventually shaping the life and career that Roddy wanted for himself. Professionally and personally, he was a success. This intimate and fascinating journey of resilience, transformation, and reinvention is a
long-awaited and illuminating tribute to a true Hollywood legend.
