Adam Grant

#1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife

"The Lighthouse Effect is perhaps most of all an exercise in daily gratitude for the power of small moments—and the people that make them happen."

Eric Mosley

Making Work Human

The greatest heroes are alongside you, and within you. Even in your ordinariness, you can be a superhero.

What You'll Learn in this Book

The Lighthouse Effect is jam packed with 240 pages of no-fluff, actionable content

In this stirring follow-up to his memoir, Steve Pemberton gives practical encouragement for how you can be a "human lighthouse" for others and through these inspiring stories will renew your hope for humanity.

Our polarized, divisive culture seems to be without heroes and role models. We are adrift in a dark sea of disillusionment and distrust and we need "human lighthouses" to give us hope and direct us back to the goodness in each other and in our own hearts.

The humble gestures of kindness that change the course of our lives can shift the course for America too. With a unique vision for building up individuals and communities and restoring trust, The Lighthouse Effect opens your eyes to those who are quietly heroic. You will reflect on the lighthouses in your own life and be reminded that the greatest heroes are alongside us--and within us.
