And for people driven by religious or secular ethics, it's hard to argue that the needs of Americans are somehow more important than the needs of people anywhere else in the world. The question is What need can I best help address? For some of us, we can do our best work in our own homes and communities; others of us are called to do work in other parts of the world. The opportunity to help is not limited by borders--and the beautiful part is that when we reach our hands across the globe to serve others, we don't return empty-handed."

Interspersed are brief stories of other's meaningful work. These are less effective. Their narratives are too brief to be more than somewhat interesting. They also don't really fit in with Moore's narrative. The text would be stronger with either without them or with more varied detailed choices.

"Wes Moore's remarkable bestseller The Other Wes Moore ends when Wes completes his journey from a fatherless delinquent to college graduate and heads off to Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship. But what happens next? Next, he had to figure out the answer to the question: What is your work? More than finding a job, he had to find the work he was meant to do. For the next decade, Wes traced a path through some of the most fascinating and high-pressure workspaces in the world: an American student at Oxford after 9/11; a combat officer in Afghanistan during the most intense years of fighting; a White House fellow during the tumult of the late Bush years; an Obama organizer during that historic campaign; a Wall Street banker at the cusp of the financial crisis; and finally, back home to Baltimore, working to revitalize that troubled city. This is the story of how one young man traced a path through the world to discover the meaning of his life -- and how after a series of misdirections and lesson-teaching mistakes, he found that meaning in service. Wes weaves the episodes and moments of decision in his own life with those of a dozen other changemakers from every walk of life who confronted the question "what is my work?" and found their own answers, to help readers see how we can each find our own path to purpose and to creating a better world"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

It tries to be a memoir, revealing personal growth through change and adversity, but just feels more like autobiography, a string of incidents told in chronological order.
What I found most compelling were the pieces at the end of each chapter where he profiled others who were answering their callings. (
