The Coffee Bean
By Jon Gordon and Damon West
An uplifting fable that teaches a simple yet powerful life lesson—how to transform challenges into opportunities. The story follows Abe, a young man struggling with stress and pressure from school and home. When his teacher introduces him to the metaphor of a coffee bean, Abe learns a life-changing truth: while hardships can weaken (like a carrot) or harden (like an egg), he has the power to change his environment for the better—just like a coffee bean infuses boiling water with rich flavor. As Abe applies this wisdom throughout his life, from school to the military to the business world, he discovers the unstoppable power within him. This short, engaging read is designed for all ages and offers a lesson that can inspire real change. So, the question is: Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?
