Jimmy Casas's positive thoughts about education shared in his bestselling books Culturize and Live Your Excellence have influenced educators around the world. After writing and speaking about all aspects of education for several years, Casas began sharing a daily Thought for the Day across various social media platforms. These daily thoughts resonated with a wide audience, leading him to eventually publish a selection of 365 such thoughts in the book Daily Inspiration for Educators: Positive Thoughts for Every Day of the Year. As a result of the popularity of that book as well as positive encouragement from readers, Casas collected 365 of his additional messages of wisdom and inspiration for this new book, Volume II of Daily Inspiration. Much like the first book, this volume is filled with timeless messages that will challenge you, validate the work you do, and provide hope when you most need it.

This book is designed to do just that: help you bring your best self to school every day!
