"[Be a Changemaker] is a book that forces readers to not only think realistically but also to think big."

Review

"Thereand#8217;s no time when we most want to change the world than in our youth years.

Thompson explains that no matter how small a good idea may seem, it may be just a tiny seed for something that will grow and affect other peopleand#8217;s lives in a positive way."
