Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach is an engaging novel about a seagull who dares to push the boundaries, looking to fly like none of his kind have before. Jonathan discovers as a result just how closed-minded the elders of his community really are, and is forced to venture out into the world beyond the cliffs of his flock, or otherwise conform to their way of life. A metaphor for having the courage to push your boundaries – whether philosophically or physically – this is an inspirational read for anyone looking for a little motivation to believe in ourselves and always try our best, and that such perseverance can payoff in unexpected ways. Don’t abandon your dreams.
