inspiring and well-told book about Ashoka fellows around the world and the innovative things they are doing for the greater good. told in a "storylike" way so it doesn't get dull
Great, inspirational read. First two chapters are a bit slow - give it time!
Other than the author crying about how much he loves Bill Drayton, this was a fabulous book!
Really interesting and important but a little slow and dry at times.
I liked it. It's the kind of book that can be put down and picked up again no problem. I read it during a volunteer stint on Monday mornings over many weeks. There are inspiring stories of people all over the world making significant improvements in people's lives. I especially appreciated the chapters on the common qualities among the social entrepreneurs. The key ingredient for success seems to be Motivation -- not necessarily a particular skill or keen intellect or excessive drive.
when you think that there is no more hope left for humanity, think again. such an inspiring book about passionate people. because sometimes, the government does need a little help from us, and us a little help from them. when individuals work together, great ideas can be put into action.
This was assigned reading for my Social Innovation course and it is full of interesting stories of inspiring change makers. I would have enjoyed a more up to date version.
This was a required book for grad school, but I really enjoyed it. It is full of examples of Ashoka Fellows and their ideas for changing the world. Very informative and inspiring.
