A new generation of practical philanthropists are uncovered in this inspiring account from eminent management writer and business guru Charles Handy. The new philanthropists are men and women who have made their own fortunes and decided to move on from financial success to aiding those in need. They are doing so not simply by giving their money away to charities and agencies but by helping actively, working on the spot with those who need their aid, and ensuring that their initiatives are sustainable in the long term. This new wave of good-doers includes the Sydney restaurateur Jeff Gambin, who personally helps to cook hot and cold menus for homeless people; Niall Mellon, a young Irish property developer who is replacing shacks in a South African township with breeze-block homes; and Sara Davenport, who sold her art gallery and set up a breast-cancer care center to offer integrated, holistic treatment and support. These captivating interviews and the stories they tell will encourage and inspire.
