Su questo libro

Recensione:

“Endlich keeps her treatment balanced...and brilliantly pulls together the common threads and motivations of these profiled philanthropists....[T]his heartening book proves that even the most successful individuals in business can also devote themselves to something that “touched them so profoundly that they could not turn away.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Endlich introduces us to men and women who add their energy, intelligence, and ideas to their resources to make philanthropy a contact sport, not a spectator sport. This book is a great beginning for anyone who wants to walk this path.” (Larry Brilliant, MD, MPH, Executive Director, Google.org)
