Tiny Beautiful Things - Cheryl Strayed

In Tiny Beautiful Things, Cheryl Strayed, the much-acclaimed author of Wild, doles out words of wisdom through the voice of her online persona, Sugar. Sugar is the affectionate, tough-loving voice of a woman who's had her share of travails in life. With her characteristic wit and willingness to vulnerably share about her life's most difficult moments, Strayed has created a uniquely beautiful work of advice and memoir. Strayed encourages radical empathy and self-empowerment. She argues that by being ferociously loving and listening to our deepest selves, we can best share that love with others.

Neil Gaiman - Make Good Art

If you know someone who is an artist – or creator or visionary or eccentric – this is the book for them. Unlike many graduation speeches, this one is perfect for high school or college graduation - or just to inspire someone. Neil Gaiman - author of Neverwhere, Stardust, Coraline, and many, many others - knows how to be inspiring without being corny and how to give good advice without being preachy. The book is engaging, both as a speech and as a work of art. Chip Kidd, the graphic artist who designed the book, clearly studied and understood each phrase and enhanced it with his art.
