Includes bibliographical references and index.According to David Brooks, "There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen-to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood." Drawing from the fields of psychology and neuroscience and from the worlds of theater, philosophy, history and education, one of the nation's leading writers and commentators helps us become more understanding and considerate toward others, and to find the joy that comes from being seen.

Through a story in comic book form about finding a treasure, Your Money and the World enables young readers everywhere to tackle complex concepts, such as what a company is, how banks work, why some backpacks cost more than others, and how money has evolved throughout history. The book explores everything from whether we need to be rich to be happy, to what the price of tulips in the seventeenth century can teach us about our world. Your Money and the World proves that everyone plays a part--by working, investing, donating, saving or spending--in achieving a fairer, more sustainable world. Saving our world requires empowering young readers to understand the importance of their economic choices--for their benefit and for the planet."--Ages 7 to 11.

Includes bibliographical references."I know what it takes to get what you want in life. It's a habit anyone can learn, a skill you can develop, a gift you don't need to be born with. The more experience you get, the more confident you'll be. Even when you fail, you'll feel stronger with each try you make. At work, at home, wherever your life unfolds--be bold. Take action. Ask for the right things. Chase what you want instead of taking what you can get. What do you want most in life, and why don't you have it? Think about the things that give your lives depth, focus, and meaning: deeply satisfying relationships with plenty of give and take, physical health and emotional wellbeing, passion projects, self-esteem, and self-respect. Bold people have these things. Bold people recognize what's holding them back-almost always a fear of failure. They train to overcome their fears, they embrace the 10% Target, and they create every day, lifelong habits to get what they want. Bigger, Better, Bolder brings readers one step closer, one chapter at a time. With practical takeaways and action steps--bite-sized Bold Moves--and real-life case studies of boldness in action, Jennifer Cohen teaches you how to get what you want"--
