SUMMARY:Brad Meltzer
DESCRIPTION:**_”_ If you really want to shock the world\,_  unleash your kindness_.”**\n**—Brad Meltzer** \nBased on bestselling author Brad Meltzer’s viral commencement speech for his\nson’s 2024 graduating class at the University of Michigan\, MAKE MAGIC is the\nlittle book of hope for anyone who has ever wished for more. More\nauthenticity. More empathy. More gratitude. A more fulfilling life. \nWith charming\, thoughtful insights from his remarkable life and career\,\nMeltzer uses magic as allegory\, sharing the secret that there are only four\ntypes of magic tricks: \n1) you make something appear\,\n2) you make something disappear\,\n3) you make two things switch places\, and\n4) you turn one thing into something else—the hardest trick of all\,\ntransformation. \nEmbracing each of these easy-to-follow tricks—and unleashing your kindness and\nempathy—will inspire you to craft a life filled with wonder and awe. MAKE\nMAGIC is an uplifting message from one of today’s most inspiring voices. \nBrad Meltzer is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of thirteen\nthrillers\, six nonfiction books\, and the _Ordinary People Change the World_\nseries. \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/10617
