Acerca del autor
Jonas Koblin was born in 1978 in Munich, Germany. He received a Waldorf school education and had a stint with FC Bayern. At the age of eleven, Koblin was invited to live with the then-richest family in America―an experience that taught him the good and bad sides of ultimate wealth.
After dropping out of high school, Koblin traveled to India, where he was confronted with real poverty. Age nineteen he then started a nonprofit and a series of charity events. By 2007, Koblin was juggling college and three companies simultaneously. After some commercial success (Madonna became a client), Koblin prioritized personal growth over commercial success and took a step back. He completed the Hoffman Process, met his wife and pursued his interest in education.
In 2016, Koblin began producing educational videos aimed at introducing aspiring educators to the social sciences. In 2020, he co-authored a lesson on Active Learning with Nobel Prize-winning physicist Carl Wieman, and in 2021, the Sprouts channel reached 1 million subscribers on YouTube. Today, Sprouts Schools' video lessons are available in over ten languages, viewed by millions of students each month, and are integrated into university curricula worldwide. In 2024, Jonas Koblin was awarded a prize for Best Open-Access Education by TREFF–the Education Film Festival in Tromsø, Norway.
Besides Sprouts Schools, Koblin also founded Mali, a virtual companion that has helped over hundred thousand new parents through the first 1,000 days of their child's life, and the Sprouts Kindergarten that is focusing on early project-based learning.
He lives in Bangkok with his wife and their three children.

Descripción de la tienda
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
