He made the difficult decision to walk away from his lucrative career to create Room to Read, a nonprofit organization that promotes education across the developing world. By the end of 2007, the organization will have established over 5,000 libraries and 400 schools, and awarded long-term scholarships to more than 3,000 girls, giving more than one million children the lifelong gift of education. If you have ever pondered abandoning your desk job for an adventure and an opportunity to give back, Wood's story will inspire you. He offers a vivid, emotional, and absorbing tale of how to take the lessons learned at a hard-charging company like Microsoft and apply them to the world's most pressing social problems. 969250 book 17 8 2006 Leaving Microsoft to Change the World: An Entrepreneur's Odyssey to Educate the World's Children total:634|5:235|4:263|3:112|2:21|1:3| 634 2608 1021 219 3 2 false false Mon Feb 09 05:30:56 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 08:55:51 -0800 2009 Leaving Microsoft to Change The World over three or four days, culminating in a marathon airline session between Milwaukee and Orlando.
