An Accident of Geography: Compassion, Innovation and the Fight Against Poverty by Richard C. Blum

An Accident of Geography: Compassion, Innovation and the Fight Against Poverty by Richard C. Blum
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book shared insight and social engagement in how to best approach inequality, and poverty around the world.

It all starts with Richard Blum's personal journey growing up in San Francisco and eventually being a well established financier. With his gained knowledge, he navigates his way to helping the poor in various countries that included Nepal. Over the year's his connections with the Dalai Lama to foreign dignitaries from China helped him learn how to best serve the poor in the countries he helps. One small step at a time.

I found the book to be engrossing in the stories he shares and mentoring individuals to excel in ways they never thought would be possible. It makes me want to bring it up a notch in my own personal motivation to help others where I can. Sometimes we need to step out of our comfort zone and help where we can with the knowledge we ourselves have attained. All. Makes. Sense.
