With a foreword by Warren Buffett, "40 Chances "is an "inspiring
manifesto...both an informative guidebook and a catalyst for
igniting real changes" ("Booklist") in the struggle against world
hunger.
If someone granted you $3 billion to accomplish something great in
the world, what would you do? In 2006, legendary investor Warren
Buffett posed this challenge to his son Howard G. Buffett. Howard
set out to help the most vulnerable people on earth--nearly a
billion individuals who lack basic food security. And Howard gave
himself a deadline: 40 years to put the resources to work on this
challenge.
"40 Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World" captures Howard's
journey. Beginning with his love for farming, we join him around
the world as he seeks out new approaches to ease the suffering of
so many. Each of the 40 stories here provides a compelling look at
the lessons Howard learned, ranging from his own backyard to some
of the most difficult and dangerous places on Earth. But this
message goes beyond the pages of this book, it's also a mindset: a
way of thinking that speaks to every person wanting to make a
difference. It's about reasons to hope and actions we can take. "40
Chances" "recounts Howard's personal and professional experiences
in surprisingly candid and colorful fashion...successfully blending
personal stories with a tough look at the struggle to fight
domestic food scarcity and world hunger...A satisfying read"
("Publishers Weekly") that provides inspiration to transform each
of our limited chances into opportunities to change the world.
