IF YOU HAD THE RESOURCES TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING GREAT IN
THE WORLD, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Legendary
investor Warren Buffett posed this challenge to his son in
2006, when he announced he was leaving the bulk of his
fortune to philanthropy. Howard G. Buffett set out to help
the most vulnerable people on earth—nearly a billion
individuals who lack basic food security. And Howard has
given himself a deadline: 40 years to put more than $3
billion to work on this challenge.
Each of us has
about 40 chances to accomplish our goals in life. Howard
learned this lesson through his passion for farming: all
farmers can expect to have about 40 growing seasons, giving
them just 40 chances to improve on every harvest. This
lesson applies to all of us, however, because we all have
about 40 productive years to do the best job we can,
whatever our passions may be.
40 Chances:
Finding Hope in a Hungry World is a book that captures
Howard’s journey. We join him around the world as he seeks
out new approaches to ease the suffering of so many. It is
told in a unique format: 40 stories that will provide
readers a compelling look at Howard’s lessons learned,
ranging from his own backyard to some of the most difficult
and dangerous places on Earth.
