The Everyday Superhero

About the Book

What does it take to be an Everyday Superhero? The ability to fly? X-ray vision? Super strength and speed? An outfit featuring your colored underwear on the outside of your outfit? Actually none of these.

The Everyday Superhero uses the Eight Great People Powers, not super powers, to save the world around them. In this book you will read about:

A high school football coach who took his team from 0-9 to the best season in the school's history using Positive Passion,

A Jewish pianist and composer who, through compassion, opened the doors to a world of music and culture to a Midwestern boy with a mental and physical disability in Know Your Talents and Discover Your Talents, Discover the Talents of Others.

The story of how an up-and-coming Christian musician took a leap of faith and put her dreams into high gear by understanding the power of Having Courage and Taking Action,

Plus other inspiring stories of how everyday people are doing extraordinary things.

There are good people all around us, but what does it take to be an Everyday Superhero? This book of insight and narrative stories will paint a picture for success in living an actualized life that saves people around us... one person at a time.
