A Selfish Plan to Change the World

Finding Big Purpose in Big Problems

By: Justin Dillon

Narrated by: Justin Dillon

You are exactly what the world needs

What if your search for meaning could solve the world’s problems? What if everything you are passionate about could save a life or change history? Justin Dillon argues it can, and A Selfish Plan to Change the World shows how.

In this paradigm-shifting new book, Dillon--the founder of Slavery Footprint and Made in a Free World--reveals the secret to a life of deep and lasting significance: the discovery that our need for meaning is inextricably linked to the needs of the world. A Selfish Plan to Change the World delivers a revolutionary method for meeting both needs.

Drawing upon his own unlikely transformation from touring musician to founder of a global movement and telling the stories of other surprising world-changers, Dillon shows how to create a life of deep purpose by stepping into the problems of the world. Taking readers on a journey from sweatshops in India to punk rock concerts in Ireland, Dillon exposes the limitations of the "giving back" approach involving donations and volunteerism to reveal the unexpected power of "giving in" to pursue self-interest in a way that alters the very dynamics of the world’s most challenging problems.

A Selfish Plan to Change the World is your "self-help-others" guide to a life that matters, demonstrating how you can repurpose your existing talents, backstory, and networks to improve the lives of others. Changing the world no longer belongs only to martyrs and professional do-gooders. You can live an extraordinary life. You can change the world. All you ever needed was a plan.

A true inspiration

I love and how are the writer he was his personal story, experiences and insight to inspire a generation of thoughtful people who aim to change the world for the better.
I seek to start an organization that would change this world and this has been the perfect homework. I will listen to this again and again in my journey

Outstanding content and performance!

In the beginning I thought it was gonna be another average listen but instead it turned out to be fabulous on many different levels..

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK

This book answers questions we secretly ask ourselves about meaning and life. It instructs without taking away our choices, and it points out human shortcomings with incredible compassion and understanding, all while pushing us to be and do better.

I love this book!!! I am going to find my riot!!!

I LOVED this book! I have a heart of service and have struggled in the pursuit of my meaning.
This book gives me a new lease to search hard for it, no matter where I am!

inspiring

Before I finished the book, I scheduled three meetings with people who have the power to make a change. I had been waiting, until I had the 'right' degree. I was waiting until I was an 'expert'. Actually, when I look at it, I already have the degrees, and the certifications and the seasoned level of experiences and even, even the respect one needs. But, I was still waiting. Look out world! I am not waiting anymore.
