"HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD tells the stories of people around the globe who are solving many of the world's most intractable problems. Full of hope and energy, exciting solutions and compelling characters, this book shows how a growing wave of "social entrepreneurs"- individuals with initiative, creativity, savvy and determination- are reshaping the world for the better. These individuals -- from doctors to lawyers, from engineers to journalists -- are successfully demonstrating that one person with a powerful idea and the drive to succeed can bring positive changes to the lives of thousands or even millions. For anyone seeking to expand their sense of possibility, to pursue a new career path, or to discover a vibrant and colorful landscape of activity that remains hidden from view, this book will be both an inspiring read and an invaluable handbook. It will change the way you see the world."
