“When we look at the world’s problems, it’s easy to be discouraged—and maybe even conclude that positive change is futile. There’s a remedy for this discouragement: Jacqueline Novogratz’s Manifesto for a Moral Revolution. ”

Arthur C Brooks, author and president emeritus, American Enterprise Institute & Professor of Practice, Harvard Kennedy School and Senior Fellow, Harvard Business School

“This book is a timely reminder that our orientation to the work is as important as the work itself. For the many who want to do good but have not quite thought about the mindsets that will allow them to do such good, this book is necessary.”

DeRay McKesson, activist, organizer, podcaster, and author

“Don't let the words 'manifesto' and 'revolution' fool you; this book is all about love, humility, and patience. Novogratz shows the power of listening — not just to the poor but to everyone who can help you see new possibilities.”

Jonathan Haidt, New York Times bestselling author

“An urgent manifesto about what it means to stand with the poor, to see through clear eyes, and most of all, to do work worth doing. Jacqueline Novogratz helps each of us understand that we’re capable of so much, if we only cared enough.”

Seth Godin, New York Times bestselling author

“Everyone who wants to have an impact on the world—from entrepreneurs, philanthropists and CEOs, to volunteers, teachers and advocates—would be wise to keep a copy of this new book by Jacqueline Novogratz at hand.”

Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive Global

“Wise and optimistic… provides a benevolent tonic for those looking to rise above the troubled waters of the age and embrace the ‘beautiful struggle’ of rebuilding our broken world. An inspiringly hopeful book.”
