The Little Book of Big Dreams - by Isa Adney (Paperback)

About the Book

Going for a big dream is a long journey, and sometimes it can be painful. How do you know when to keep going and when to pivot? How do you endure rejection and failure and tragedy? How do you find the courage to keep going when you feel weary or stuck?

Book Synopsis

Sometimes, dreams do come true.

There's a lot of advice out there about how to pursue your goals, but sometimes all a dreamer needs to keep going is a true story of a dream becoming reality: proof that lows are a normal part of the process, and hope that all your hard work might still have a chance of paying off.

The Little Book of Big Dreams is filled with true stories of dreamers just like you who dared to reach for the stars and actually go for the things they wanted most in life--but the most important story in this book is yours. Each uplifting tale in these pages is meant to inspire you along your dream journey, not only helping you keep going when things get hard but also reminding you that obstacles don't mean you're doing this wrong--they mean you're on your way.

The dreamers in this book include Oscar winner Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Disney producer Don Hahn, Pensole Lewis College founder D'Wayne Edwards, Hamilton cast member Seth Stewart, Black Girls Code founder Kimberly Bryant, and more.
