A True Story about Listening to What’s Calling to You
With its blend of psychological insights, self-deprecating humor, and underdog themes, Little Giant will give your book club plenty to debate and explore.
Deeply human
Over two decades, Little Giant recreates the struggles of a lawyer and a scientist who risked everything (except their girlfriends) to start a surf shop based on three unusual values: stay friends, have fun, and do good. No one thought they’d last a year.
Universal themes
You don’t have to be a surfer or know a thing about retail to love this book. At its core, Little Giant wrestles with how to reinvent ourselves when the map runs out.
Nonfiction that reads like a novel
