“As a true believer in the unique superpowers of children, I was thrilled by this exploration of ways we can reclaim and harness those same powers as adults and leaders who want to be and do good in the world. The authors don't pretend that qualities such as Authenticity, Resilience, and Compassion come easily to grown-ups, but they thoughtfully illustrate that each and every one of us has access to the power we carry.”

“What's happened to those innate gifts of childhood that were sure to bring us joy and success as adults? The authors identify five 'superpowers' we've lost along the way and cleverly reveal how they've been wiped out. Curiosity, Authenticity, Resilience, Compassion, and Playfulness all still need a place in our adult lives in order for us to thrive. And it's not too late—thankfully, there are some ideas here on how we can reintroduce them into our lives and recapture some of the happiness that's escaped us.”

“JMReid Group authors tap into an interesting premise that as we 'develop into adulthood,' we actually forsake the very powerful skills that naturally lie within us all as children. The power of Curiosity is especially relevant. I see a strong correlation in the best leaders I know and their undying and lifelong curiosity. The trait imbues their leadership style with a sense of the possible, tempers the arrogance that often comes with intellect, and drives a narrative of aspiration that inspires organizations.”
