The first page caught my interest immediately. The themes in Superpowers for Good bring forward thoughts of Marvel characters into real life. Heroes use their special gifts and talents to reach their super goals. Each interview of accomplished and successful people was a journey into a story of personal ambition and fulfillment. The author (Devin) divided the chapters with a word that describes character-building values: leadership, passion, hope, optimism, team building, and, importantly, hard work. All these values are the ingredients that build a rewarding career and an accomplished life. I enjoyed turning the pages to follow the challenges and decisions made by each person, but a common thread ran through all the interviews—they were dreamers who visualized reaching their varied goals. Superpowers for Good illustrates looking at the future as a new adventure each day. ~Senator Karen Mayne

Devin recognized that a spark in each of his interviewees drove who they are and why they are successful. Having had the experience of Devin asking me to describe my Superpower, I can reveal that it was a bit of a shock to have to think about it.
