For anyone starting off in the social entrepreneurship field, this book can serve as a good starting instruction. Here the author, Bornstein, presents numerous stories of people whose passions have led them to address varied social causes. The ideas suggested are different and my personal favorite was, “This country has to change” by Javed Abidi, India: Disability rights. Mr. Abidi represents the social stigma associated with disabled people living in India and the work he has undertaken to change this. The various stories on various subjects ensure that individuals will see “their” cause addressed in one form or another.

The Third Law by Tamra Ryan

In The Third Law, you’ll meet Megan who was eleven years old when her older sister sold her to a man for crack. You’ll be introduced to Janine who struggles to keep her four children fed when her food stamp assistance is cut because her $8/hour job pays too much. As author Tamra Ryan points out: these and many other women like them are not the sum of their addictions, crimes or poor judgment. Instead, most are victims–of poverty, abuse and neglect–who have been further victimized by drug sentencing laws, cultural prejudices and the human services system designed to protect them.


Making Good by Billy Parish
