review 1: Michael Bungay Stanier, fellow Canadian and the man behind Box of Crayons, has brought together 62 of the best essayists out there to produce a work that is truly outstanding. It is inspiring, has tremendous depth of scope and has something for everybody. But that’s not all it has.It may just have the goods to end malaria once and for all.This may seem like a bold statement, but the book itself is bold. It’s called End Malaria because that is ultimately what it aims to do. How it plans to do this is by donating all of the proceeds from electronic versions of the book to eradicating the disease. Each book costs $20 and that is enough to buy 2 mosquito nets — the greatest life preserver one can have against malaria. If you buy a paperback version for $25, all but $5 go... morees to the same cause.As soon as I saw who was behind this project (Michael has teamed up with Seth Godin and The Domino Project so that the book can have as wide an impact as possible), I scooped up a copy.The writers Michael has assembled for this book are truly a great lot. They include:- David Allen- Gina Trapani- Chris Guillebeau- Daniel Pink- Jonathan Fields- Gary Vaynerchuk- Derek Sivers- Pam Slim- Danielle LaPorte- Kevin Kelly…as well as a contribution from Seth Godin and editing by Michael himself. That’s an assembly of some amazing talent…and all for an amazing cause.
review 2: I bought this book to help the cause, but the content (a cumulative of opinions by great writers) is great. What is more than what you paid for, is the satisfaction that the entire proceeds of the e-book version go to a wonderful cause, the fight to end Malaria. The purchase price of the book pays for two special nets that combat the mosquitoes that carry the disease. At the same time, yes... the book provides really fun and valuable opinion. less
