Ecco, da Bill Clinton, un invito all'azione. Giving è uno sguardo stimolante su come ognuno di noi può cambiare il mondo. Innanzitutto, rivela gli sforzi straordinari e innovativi che ora vengono fatti da aziende e organizzazioni, e da individui, per risolvere problemi e salvare vite sia ''in fondo alla strada che in tutto il mondo''. Poi ci esorta a cercare cosa ognuno di noi, ''indipendentemente dal reddito, dal tempo disponibile, dall'età e dalle competenze'', può fare per aiutare, per dare alle persone la possibilità di vivere i propri sogni. Bill Clinton condivide le sue esperienze personali e quelle di altri donatori, che rappresentano un'ondata globale di attività non governative e senza scopo di lucro. Queste storie straordinarie dimostrano che i doni di tempo, competenze, cose e idee sono importanti ed efficaci quanto i contributi in denaro. Da Bill e Melinda Gates a una bambina californiana di sei anni di nome McKenzie Steiner, che ha organizzato e supervisionato campagne per ripulire la spiaggia nella sua comunità, Clinton ci presenta eroi del dono sia noti che sconosciuti. Clinton scrive di uomini e donne che hanno rinunciato alle loro carriere aziendali e della soddisfazione che ora provano nel dare. Scrive di pratiche di efficienza energetica, di aziende progressiste che diventano ecologiche, di promozione di salari equi e condizioni di lavoro dignitose in tutto il mondo. Ci mostra come uno dei modi più importanti di dare possa essere uno sforzo per cambiare, migliorare o proteggere una politica governativa. Descrive cosa possiamo fare come individui, i passi che possiamo compiere, quanto dovremmo considerare di dare e perché il nostro dare è così importante. Le azioni di Bill Clinton nei suoi anni post-presidenziali hanno avuto un impatto enorme sulla vita di milioni di persone. Attraverso la sua fondazione e il suo lavoro dopo lo tsunami asiatico e l'uragano Katrina, è diventato un portavoce e un modello internazionale del potere del dare.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Here, from Bill Clinton, is a call to action. Giving is an inspiring look at how each of us can change the world. First, it reveals the extraordinary and innovative efforts now being made by companies and organizations-and by individuals-to solve problems and save lives both 'down the street and around the world'. Then it urges us to seek out what each of us, 'regardless of income, available time, age, and skills', can do to help, to give people a chance to live out their dreams.Bill Clinton shares his own experiences and those of other givers, representing a global flood tide of nongovernmental, nonprofit activity. These remarkable stories demonstrate that gifts of time, skills, things, and ideas are as important and effective as contributions of money. From Bill and Melinda Gates to a six-year-old California girl named McKenzie Steiner, who organized and supervised drives to clean up the beach in her community, Clinton introduces us to both well-known and unknown heroes of giving. Clinton writes about men and women who traded in their corporate careers, and the fulfillment they now experience through giving. He writes about energy-efficient practices, about progressive companies going green, about promoting fair wages and decent working conditions around the world. He shows us how one of the most important ways of giving can be an effort to change, improve, or protect a government policy. He outlines what we as individuals can do, the steps we can take, how much we should consider giving, and why our giving is so important.Bill Clinton's own actions in his post-presidential years have had an enormous impact on the lives of millions. Through his foundation and his work in the aftermath of the Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, he has become an international spokesperson and model for the power of giving.
