About This Book (Owen and Lou Otter Help Each Otter)

The science of how generosity affects yourself and others

A commonly-believed rule of play and life is that it’s best to be generous. But a deep study of generosity showed that while many Givers do extremely well in their chosen endeavors, others burn out. To understand the difference, explore the Science of Generosity with Owen and Lou Otters as they learn to be Sustained Givers for the benefit of themselves and those around them.

Why THE SCIENCE OF GENEROSITY is Critical for Kids and Adults 

Generosity is fundamental to development, but few people truly understand its effects. Research conducted and aggregated by Adam Grant in the NYT #1 Best Seller Give and Take suggests that Givers, if not giving correctly, may actually be causing themselves harm and burnout. Giving in a sustained way results in far more success in situations from play room to board room and beyond, but requires a very specific approach.

About Younger Me Academy

Younger Me Academy was carefully designed by a Google strategist to be the "perfect children's picture book for the growth-oriented family." 

Referred to by reviewers as "TED Talks in Storybook Form," each book uses a rhyming adventure story to introduce research-backed, life-long skills chosen for their importance in child AND adult development. They are inspired by global thought leaders like:

1. Carol Dweck, Stanford University professor and author of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
2. Adam Grant, University of Pennsylvania professor and #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals
3. Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Prize winner in economics and author of Thinking Fast and Slow

...and more

The creation of the books was as scientifically rigorous as the research themes they are based on; hundreds of test readers were engaged in structured and unstructured testing over every decision, from the illustrators (100+ considered), to the rhyme structure, to the manuscripts (200+ drafts), book size, etc.
