By Julia Moulden

Book Overview

Around the world, thousands of people who've found success in their chosen careers are getting the call to do something more with their lives--to give something back to a world in desperate need of their help. And you don't have to be a billionaire to do so. You can be an ordinary person, like: Melissa Dyrdahl , who left her job as senior vice president of marketing at Adobe Systems to create Bring Light, Inc., a nonprofit Web site that offers a revolutionary new way for connecting donors with hundreds of charities. Rocco Rossi , a top Canadian executive and entrepreneur, who experienced a rude awaking in his late 30s that led to him becoming CEO of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario. Chef Jamie Kennedy , who knew that there was something deeply crazy--and completely unsustainable--about the way restaurants source ingredients. He is now leading the movement toward local, sustainable cuisine. These are just three of the many unsung heroes of the New Radicals movement.

Very Meaningful Book

I have been lucky to be mentored by someone who is mentioned in this book and inherited some of his ideas - so in some ways I was bound to love the concept of this book. I liked the examples Julia has used as they are very relevant and real, and go along well with what the book his about. I specially enjoyed he writing style.
