Book ID/图书代码: 14780019C00051
English Summary/英文概要: The desire to make a difference in the world is something we all share. But most of us struggle with the where, when, and how. What if the answer was as clear as: here and now, in your own way? Dr. Jordan Kassalow, founder of VisionSpring, the global phenomenon that has helped millions stay focused on a positive future, shares his own story of connecting his real life financial responsibilities with his true sense of calling, while also offering readers the tools to map out their own path. Dare to Matter assures readers that doing good and doing well neednt be an either/or proposition; that they don’t have to be a billionaire philanthropist or take a vow of poverty, be young and unencumbered, or retired, to give of themselves in the way that they, and only they, have been created to give. Dare to Matter will help readers put Jordan’s unique blueprint to work in their own lives, locate their joy, and make a difference in the world.
