This book shares the thread of another kind of love story, one that we often gives short shrift to ― the yearning to learn. That is a story that should be ageless, but when we reach a certain age, if we lack natural talent, a nagging voice inside our brain whispers, “Why continue? You are never going to be great at this.”

Hamilton’s Cascade of Creativity
Founding Father Alexander Hamilton’s life has inspired a recent cascade of creativity. First Ron Chernow wrote the Pulitzer-prize winning biography, “Alexander Hamilton,” which begat Lin-Manuel Miranda’s blockbuster, “Hamilton: The Musical.” Since its launch in 2015, the musical was the catalyst for a PBS special, a mixtape, and another book, “Hamilton: The Revolution,” a virtual matryoshka doll of stories nesting inside of stories: autobiography, biography and history.
