Synopsis

In Dare to Matter, VisionSpring founder Jordan Kassalow shares his own inspiring story and a nuts-and-bolts plan to help readers who what to make a difference right now, no matter what their job, no matter what their circumstances, on their own terms, in their own time, in concert with their commitments and responsibilities. The desire to make a difference in the world, to leave the world a better place--and to enjoy life at the same time--is something we all share. But most of us struggle with the where, when, and how. What if the answer was as clear as: here and now, in your own way? Dr. Jordan Kassalow, founder of VisionSpring, the global phenomenon that has helped millions stay focused on a positive future, shares his own story of connecting his real life financial responsibilities with his true sense of calling, while also offering readers the tools to map out their own path. Jordan partners with readers in their search for ways to feed both their families and their souls, assisting them in everything from discovering their higher purpose, answering questions like how much is enough, to constructing, and implementing, a nuts-and-bolts plan to live in service of others without sacrificing their paychecks. Dare to Matter assures readers that doing good and doing well needn't be an either/or proposition; that they don't have to be a billionaire philanthropist or take a vow of poverty, be young and unencumbered, or retired, to give of themselves in the way that they, and only they, have been created to give. Dare to Matter will help readers put Jordan's unique blueprint to work in their own lives, locate their joy, and make a difference in the world.

I like how grounded the advice in this book is. It doesn’t tell you to just hike off and pursue your dream while leaving all responsibilities and realities behind.
