So I've finished the book and while it's highly recommended by ME it comes with a cautionary note: this guy's actions and ideas made me feel like a defensive-minded, money-grubbing, self-obsessed glutton. Which was exilerating in a sense, since that's exactly what I am. And he'd probably say he was too.
The strength of the book is that amid inspirational and traumatizing anecdotes, stirring and bitch-slapping-across-the-kisser quotes, and great nuggets of wisdom, he includes so much positivity, i.e.: not just pointing to the problems and injustices but pointing to real ways people can and do help in heroic and gargantuan ways, ways that seem attainable (if I could just put down my burger).
