It Is Possible arms readers with the knowledge, skills, and inspiration needed to eliminate one of the most dangerous threats to our shared civilization. Read More

Neurofables: Inclusion
Interactive Stories that Build Better Brains

by Charlie Xavier, Jill Butler, and Colin Throm

How can we create a more inclusive world? One where difference is celebrated and sought out rather than feared and avoided? Where our children feel as connected to people around the globe as they do to people in their own communities? This first book in the Neurofables series takes on one of the most prevalent and pernicious cognitive biases in humans: tribalism, or our tendency to group people into either “us” or “them”. Three interactive stories engage children to role-play and choose paths for protagonists, then examine the consequences of their inclusive and exclusive decisions. In making these choices, children practice what-if thinking skills and develop the inclusive habits of mind needed to override our tribalistic tendencies. Read More
