The riveting story of how a young man turned $25 into more
than 200 schools around the world and the guiding steps
anyone can take to lead a successful and significant
life.
Adam Braun began working summers at hedge funds
when he was just sixteen years old, sprinting down the path
to a successful Wall Street career. But while traveling he
met a young boy begging on the streets of India, who after
being asked what he wanted most in the world, simply
answered, “A pencil.” This small request led to a staggering
series of events that took Braun backpacking through dozens
of countries before eventually leaving one of the world’s
most prestigious jobs to found Pencils of Promise, the
organization he started with just $25 that has since built
more than 200 schools around the world.
The
Promise of a Pencil chronicles Braun’s journey to find
his calling, as each chapter explains one clear step that
every person can take to turn your biggest ambitions into
reality, even if you start with as little as $25. His story
takes readers behind the scenes with business moguls and
village chiefs, world-famous celebrities and hometown
heroes. Driven by compelling stories and shareable insights,
this is a vivid and inspiring book that will give you the
tools to make your own life a story worth telling.

Promise.
