John Wood was a senior Microsoft director but in 1999, he decided to throw in the corporate towel and do something entirely different. He founded a charity called Room To Read which has since built 197 schools, established 2930 libraries and donated 1.2 million books to children all over Asia. This is his truly remarkable story. In 1998 John Wood was a rising executive at Microsoft when a trip to Nepal inspired him to change the world, one book and one child at a time. Fueled by the same drive that made him so successful at Microsoft, Wood used the business practices he had learned in the non-profit world to create Room to Read, a stunningly effective organization helping a million children in Asia. In this book, Wood chronicles his life and work, from the start-up years at Microsoft to his life-changing decision to leave, and includes the methods he uses to manage Room to Read with 'the efficiency of General Electric and the compassion of Mother Teresa.' Wood's story is an uncommon and instructive primer on creating success on your own terms, and an inspiration for changing the world.
