A World Changed: 100 Years of Philanthropy
As The Rockefeller Foundation celebrates 100 years of American philanthropy, we asked people to share a change in the world that is most inspiring to them—something they never thought they'd see in their lifetime. Something that was made possible thanks to the support of philanthropy. Over the past century, American philanthropies have been the drivers of some of society's biggest achievements. They helped create the field of public health, built schools, fought for human rights, and supported farming techniques that fed billions and lifted economies around the world. Nearly all of us have seen the world change as a result of philanthropy, and with the technology, information, and new resources available to us, we can continue to solve the world's biggest challenges.
This brilliantly simple book on the philosophy known as Asset-Based Thinking, instills success-oriented habits in even the most die-hard cynic. Its transformational lessons--conveyed through unique photographic metaphors and inspiring stories from real people--reveal how the slightest shift in perception can lead to monumental results in both business and in life. ABT is not just positive thinking, but rather a systematic observation of "what works."
