If you ask Stuart Jacobson
how to measure success,
his response might
take you by surprise.
The Northbrook resident
believes success
comes from being kind to
all and spreading uplifting
messages of positivity.
Jacobson is now taking
the “be kind, be positive
and read” theme of “The
Stu Show,” his popular
inspirational show for students,
and turning it into
a children’s book titled
“I Like To Be Liked: 12
Things To Do (All of the
Time) To Be Liked.”
Jacobson said the goal
of the new book is to allow
the message of his
show to be spread to a
larger audience. He also
hopes the title will spark
readers’ curiosity.
The intended impact of
Jacobson’s book is to help
make “a safer and friendlier
America,” which is also
why he initially started
the show. He also wants
to put the main message
from the show in a book,
to allow parents and kids
to keep an at-home reference
of the themes he
presents.
The idea for Jacobson’s
book came from the opening
question to his show.
“(I always ask) how
many of the kids like to be
liked, because that’s where
it begins and of course,
the kids immediately raise
their hands — everybody
wants to be liked,” Jacobson
said of the show’s
opening. “I would follow
up with another question
(asking) how many of
them go out of their way

authored a new children’s book titled, “I Like To Be
Liked: 12 Things To Do ( All of the Time) To Be Liked.”

to be liked. And of course,
most hands went down
because now kids have to
think what do I have to do
to be liked?”
Much of the motivation
behind Jacobson’s writing
is to remind himself
of one of his personal
measure of success — the
size of one’s heart and the
ability to care for others.
And he believes practicing
kindness as often as
possible is one of the keys
to success.
“If you want to be a
great violinist, you practice
… and if you want to
be a great human being,
you have got to practice,”
he said.
Jacobson is already
working on a follow-up
book called “Nobody
Likes A Bully,” which will
highlight the anti-bullying
messages from his show.
