HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD
tells the stories of people who have both changed their
lives and found ways to change the world. It tell stories
of people who have discovered how to use their talents
and energy to advance deeply meaningful changes -- defiant
people who refuse to accept the status quo, who simply
cannot sit still in the face of injustice, suffering
or wastefulness. The book shows (and analyzes) how innovators
advance new models to solve social and economic problems
-- how they make headway against the odds. Full of hope
and energy, pragmatic solutions and compelling characters,
this book will be practical and inspiring reading for
individuals who seek to understand the fast growing
field of "social entrepreneurship" and discover opportunities
to enrich their work and their lives. Whether they are
teachers or management consultants, bankers or doctors,
nurses or social workers, writers or engineers, the
people in this book are
successfully demonstrating that one person with initiative
and the courage to try out a new idea, along with a
determination to seek out and connect with other changemakers,
can advance changes that improve the lives and unleash
the potential of thousands or even millions of others.
