I totally agree with the message in this book, and I'm sure it'll achieve its goal of motivating people. That's why it's a tricky one to review. I have to say I was hoping for something with a little bit more depth and insight, and what I found, while very easy to read, didn't teach me very much new stuff.
Wholeheartedly endorse the book though, and if you're unfamiliar with the idea of social business and one-for-one, it's definitely an interesting way in to learning a little more about the topic.
