About this listen

"If you really want to shock the world, unleash your kindness."

Based on bestselling author Brad Meltzer’s viral commencement speech for his son’s graduating class at the University of Michigan, Make Magic is the little book of hope for anyone who has ever wished for more. More authenticity. More empathy. More gratitude. A more fulfilling life.

With charming, thoughtful insights from his remarkable life and career, Meltzer uses magic as allegory, sharing the secret that there are only four types of magic tricks:

1) you make something appear,

2) you make something disappear,

3) you make two things switch places, and

4) you turn one thing into something else—the hardest trick of all, transformation.

Embracing each of these easy-to-follow tricks—and unleashing your kindness and empathy—will inspire you to craft a life filled with wonder and awe.

Make Magic is an uplifting message from one of today’s most inspiring voices.

A speech not a book

Was surprised this is basically a transcript of a speech… less than 25 minutes long …

To short

What he says about kindness is soot on.

This was so disappointing because it was so short! I was really looking forward to hearing it. It was a let down.

Creating a Life of Meaning and Purpose!

Brad Meltzer’s Make Magic: The Book of Inspiration You Didn't Know You Needed is exactly that—a book that feels like a warm, guiding light in a world that often feels dim with negativity. From the very first page, Meltzer’s wisdom and heartfelt storytelling captivate, offering not just encouragement but a true blueprint for a more meaningful life.

What makes this book extraordinary is its ability to distill deep truths into simple yet powerful lessons. Using the metaphor of magic, Meltzer reveals how small shifts in perspective—can create profound changes in our lives. It’s not just theory; it’s practical, actionable, and deeply moving.

This book isn’t just for recent graduates or those at a crossroads—it’s for everyone who has ever longed for more authenticity, more connection, and more kindness in their lives. Meltzer’s storytelling is filled with heart, humor, and the kind of wisdom that lingers in your soul long after you turn the final page.

A true gem, Make Magic is the book we all need right now. It’s an instant classic in the realm of inspirational literature, reminding us that real magic exists in how we show up for ourselves and others. Highly, highly recommended!
