Riassunto:

Some Good in the World is the account of Edward Piszek's journey from boyhood poverty to international prominence. Born the son of Polish immigrants, Piszek began his life with little hint of what lay ahead. At age twenty-nine, he would not only establish one of the most profitable businesses of its kind - Mrs. Paul's Kitchens - but virtually create the entire frozen seafood industry. Some Good in the World tells the story of his phenomenal business success, but it is also a deeply spiritual account of how, in midlife, Piszek discovered that wealth was not enough.
Drawn back to his parents' native Poland, he embarked on an altogether different kind of endeavor. These efforts led to the eradication of tuberculosis from that country and ultimately placed him near the center of some of the most momentous events to happen in Europe since the end of World War II, such as the election of Polish Cardinal Karol Wojtyla to the papacy and the fall of communism in Eastern Europe.
