Giving: How Each of Us Can Change World

By Bill Clinton

Less important than the reading of this book is the message it conveys. Our team works long, hard hours so philanthropy often falls off the list of priorities. I try to instill in the team a sense of how much impact even a single effort can have and encourage corporate participation in supporting good causes.
