Polar Bear Pirates And Their Quest To Engage The Sleepwalkers.
In their latest quest, Polar Bear Pirates come to the aid of the Sleepwalkers, those in the workplace who have fallen into comfy routines and drifted into the orbit of Planet Complacency. Thinking the same way, delivering the same results and shining at just 60 watts, these 100-watt team players are capable of so much more.

TNTs are all the little things that people don’t need to do but do. Though small, they create the biggest, longest-lasting impressions in people’s minds; they show how much you care; they make and break relationships – yet they cost nothing.
As well as the Polar Bear Pirates books, Adrian collaborated with neuroscientist Dr Jack Lewis to write ‘Sort Your Brain Out‘.
