<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Written with a fresh voice and a dash of humor, <i>Do Good Well</i> is an exciting and readily adaptable guide to social innovation that not only captures the entrepreneurial and creative spirit of our time, but also harnesses the insights, wisdom, and down-to-earth experience of today's most accomplished young leaders. <i>Do Good Well</i> offers a winning combination of theory, anecdote, and application, giving you the framework you need to make an impact next door or across the world.<br /> <br /> The authors present a 12-step process that empowers readers to act on their passions and concerns. This process is organized into three parts: Do What Works, Work Together, and Make It Last. They offer specific guidance for following the process through practical and prescriptive actions such building organizations, joining boards, applying for funding, creating partnerships with organizations that have similar goals, organizing conferences, and publicizing events. The book incorporates accounts of young people in action, and always reinforces the message that social innovation can be a lifestyle, made up of efforts small and large. It is not an all-or nothing proposition, and anyone can affect social change.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>"This book is the primer for social innovation."<br /> --<b>Muhammad Yunus</b>, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and founder of Grameen Bank</p> <p>Practical, wise, and witty, <i>Do Good Well</i> is a groundbreaking book that offers a comprehensive and readily adaptable guide to social innovation that not only captures the entrepreneurial and creative spirit of our time, but also harnesses the insights, wisdom, and down-to-earth experience of today's most accomplished young leaders.</p> <p>Written with a fresh voice and a dash of humor, <i>Do Good Well</i> avoids the typical generalized takeaways and overly simplistic "how-to" advice which lacks grounding in a larger context.
