Este é um discurso que a J. K. Rowling fez em uma formatura de uma turma de Harvard, por isso é bem curtinho, mas sem deixar de ser essencial. Não posso falar muito, pois são pouquíssimas páginas, por isso digo (ou escrevo haha) apenas: LEIAM! ( )

This is a slim little volume as it is actually the speech J.K. Rowling gave at Harvard's commencement ceremony in 2008. With a title that cites the "benefits of failure" and the "importance of imagination", the speech was not what I thought it'd be at all. Again, Rowling proves just what an incredibly compassionate, caring, and warm-hearted person she is as she discusses using imagination not just to improve your own life or to reach your own goals, but to use it to find ways to help other people as well, in particular, those who are a lot less fortunate. It's about using your imagination to help those in need, to fight violence and poverty, to better people's lives and to create real change in the world. It's an incredibly inspiring and moving speech, and short enough that I think anyone should be able to find some time to read it. ( )

A short little book with excellent advice for everyone. ( )

Excelente libro, para tenerlo cerca y consultarlo cuando necesitemos, con discursos motivadores y mensajes de vida. ( )

I'm sure this is either the editor or the author's idea to squeeze a few more dollars out of fans. I was unimpressed with both the design and the message. Not worth the hardcover price. Not even really worth a blog post in my opinion. ( )
