What I’m Reading: Manifesto For a Moral Revolution by Jacqueline Novogratz

I rarely read a new book so soon after its release. I usually like to watch how it trends for a bit and see what comes out of the word-works and what kinds of recommendations it draws. But Novogratz’s book hit my desk fast, loaded with suggestions form some of the people I respect most. To make it even better, I chose this book along with a friend as a starting point for a new book club. It couldn’t;t have come at a better time, amid the protests and calls for change. Novogratz’s manifesto is a brilliant handbook for anyone looking to break conformity and make real change in the world. Backed with stories from her time at her Non-Profit, Acumen, Novogratz brings true wisdom to a time rife with reform. While the book focuses on change via investment and business, the lessons within are applicable to any individual looking to be a force for change.
