The Promise of a Pencil by Adam Braun Book Summary

The riveting story of how a young man turned $25 into more than 200 schools around the world and the guiding steps anyone can take to lead a successful and significant life.

Adam Braun began working summers at hedge funds when he was just sixteen years old, sprinting down the path to a successful Wall Street career. But while traveling he met a young boy begging on the streets of India, who after being asked what he wanted most in the world, simply answered, “A pencil.” This small request led to a staggering series of events that took Braun backpacking through dozens of countries before eventually leaving one of the world’s most prestigious jobs to found Pencils of Promise, the organization he started with just $25 that has since built more than 200 schools around the world.

The Promise of a Pencil chronicles Braun’s journey to find his calling, as each chapter explains one clear step that every person can take to turn your biggest ambitions into reality, even if you start with as little as $25. His story takes readers behind the scenes with business moguls and village chiefs, world-famous celebrities and hometown heroes. Driven by compelling stories and shareable insights, this is a vivid and inspiring book that will give you the tools to make your own life a story worth telling.

*All proceeds from this book will support Pencils of Promise.

Fantastic!. I really enjoyed reading this book. I was inspired and motivated by Adam's and PoP's message. It was a refreshing read, great for those looking to start their own business.

Pencils of Promise. Wow, I am so amazed ! Trading this book has brought so much joy to my soul. It is so beautiful to know people like Adam exist and I thank my creator for putting this book in my path. Adam is a blessed man and has been an instrument to bless so many people.

Amazing. A very good read with great lessons I life and business. Highly recommend.

Inspirational Read. Great book! Easy read yet very engaging and motivational. Adam tells a beautiful story of how such an extraordinary organization was able to make such a huge impact. Building schools in rural communities all over the world to give a child an education is a beautiful thing. Loved this book!

Awesome book. You should read it. Such a good book :)

Inspirational. This is a must read

A Great Read & A Great Cause!. I really enjoyed this book and learning more about the organization and the life story of the guy behind it. I thought it was great that he included not only the things he did right but the mistakes he made as well and how he learned from them. It also made me want to get more involved with this cause and I can't wait to see how many more schools they are able to build with the proceeds from the book!

Be Original. This is the most unoriginal book I have ever read and is a knock off of a book that came out a couple of months ago called Walk in Their Shoes. I was disappointed when I realized that the book was an attempt by a rich kid to tell everyone how they can change the world with really unoriginal cliches. All in all, save your money and donate it to a good organization that actually makes change in the world.

Couldn't put it down. I was skeptical when I saw the storyline behind this book, but it was inspirational and thought provoking.

Such an awesome story!. This was a very well written book and just an amazing story! It will inspire you!!!

Amazing read. Very inspiring book

Must Read. An engaging story that instantly connects you with Adam’s initial vision of building one school to the creation of an inspirational global movement. This book will capture your emotions as you travel with Adam on his life journey in order to realise his dream and make a difference in the world. Although its focus outlines Adam’s entrepreneurial endeavours, the underlying message of this book is truly enriching and inspirational, highlighting the message of creating your own path and doing something of purpose that will fulfil your own life. I found this to be a book written with heart and sincerity. It is rare to find a book that can teach you genuine life lessons and mantras to live by, but this is one of them. Thank you Adam for giving me the pleasure of reading your story.
