40 Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World

40 Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World

With a foreword by Warren Buffett, 40 Chances is an â€œinspiring manifestoâ€¦both an informative guidebook and a catalyst for igniting real changesâ€ (Booklist) in the struggle against world hunger.

If someone granted you $3 billion to accomplish something great in the world, what would you do? In 2006, legendary investor Warren Buffett posed this challenge to his son Howard G. Buffett. Howard set out to help the most vulnerable people on earthâ€”nearly a billion individuals who lack basic food security. And Howard gave himself a deadline: 40 years to put the resources to work on this challenge.

40 Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World captures Howardâ€™s journey. Beginning with his love for farming, we join him around the world as he seeks out new approaches to ease the suffering of so many. Each of the 40 stories here provides a compelling look at the lessons Howard learned, ranging from his own backyard to some of the most difficult and dangerous places on Earth. But this message goes beyond the pages of this book, itâ€™s also a mindset: a way of thinking that speaks to every person wanting to make a difference. Itâ€™s about reasons to hope and actions we can take. 40 Chances â€œrecounts Howardâ€™s personal and professional experiences in surprisingly candid and colorful fashionâ€¦successfully blending personal stories with a tough look at the struggle to fight domestic food scarcity and world hungerâ€¦A satisfying readâ€ (Publishers Weekly) that provides inspiration to transform each of our limited chances into opportunities to change the world.
