I don’t get the time to read much since I’m quite busy with my boutique and advertisement projects. But my husband gave me a few books to read, and this was one of them. I have recently started reading it, so I’m just halfway through it. I usually read a few chapters before going to bed.
This book revolves around how Wood discovered his passion, his greatest success, and his life’s work – not in business school or helping lead Microsoft’s charge into Asia in the 1990s but on a soul-searching trip to the Himalaya. He made the difficult decision to walk away from his lucrative career to create Room to Read, a nonprofit organization that promotes education across the developing world.[break]
Wood’s story will inspire you as he offers a vivid, emotional, and absorbing tale of how to take the lessons learnt at a hard-charging company like Microsoft and apply them to the world’s most pressing social problems. It’s written so fluidly that you can read it in bits and pieces and not have to worry about not being able to grasp the message.
To me, the mark of a great book is that it can move a variety of people, even though each person is connecting in a different way. The purpose of a story is to be a crowbar that cracks your mind wide open, and this inspiring story seems to be doing just that for me so far.
