I would highly recommend this book as John Wood tells the tail of jumping from the 500 lb. corporate giant into a start-up world where his passion drives him to create a social venture centered around the power of libraries and education in the developing world. Those of us that are fortunate enough to have libraries and education readily available to us sometimes forget how little of a physical or monetary contribution is needed to effect those in developing countries. His philosophy of jumping into something with passion and being somewhat blinded to all of the nitty-gritty business details is inspiring.
