"This lavishly illustrated and strikingly designed motivational book for teenagers is packed with inspiring stories from ordinary and extraordinary heroes. Profiling real-life and fictional icons as diverse as Nelson Mandela, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Dalai Lama, Kylie Minogue, and Forrest Gump, this book shows how to set goals, organize priorities, and learn invaluable life skills. Also featured are movies that speak to teenagers, such as Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting, and Dangerous Minds. Heroism is stressed not as the quest for greatness or stardom, but rather as a journey to self-discovery and living life on one’s own terms."
