Malaria,
http://www.EndMalariaDay.com , is an astonishing
new book by more than sixty best selling business authors and social thought
leaders who joined together to share information in a book whose entire profits
go to buy malaria bed nets. Malaria is a disease that causes more childhood
death than HIV/AIDS.
Malaria
bed nets are simple nets that hang over a window or a bed. They're treated with
a chemical that mosquitoes hate. The mosquitoes fly away, they don't bite,
people don't get malaria.
Every
single penny spent on the Kindle edition goes to Malaria No More, giving them
enough money to buy one or two bednets and to deliver them and be sure they're
used properly. Low overhead, no graft, no waste. Just effectiveness. None of the
authors or anyone at the Domino Project receive money to be part of this
project.
Wait,
there is one ulterior motive: We hope you are inspired. One of the sixty
plus contributors might share a gem or spark an idea. The book is a collection
of essays from 62 business and social thought leaders about the key drivers to
live a life of meaning and impact. Contributors to the book (all of whom donated
their work) include David Allen, Tom Peters and Keith Ferrazzi; TED speakers Brene Brown and Sir Ken Robinson;
New York Times' best-sellers Jonah Lehrer, Gary Vaynerchuk and Dan Pink;
Daymond John and Dave Ramsey; and leaders from organizations such as Google and
GlaxoSmithKline.
There's
a second motive: Stepping up feels right. It's a few clicks to buy a book and
for the rest of the day, or even a week, you'll remember how it felt to save
someone's life.

MALARIA was
born out of a passion to save lives by author and Senior Partner of Box of
Crayons Michael Bungay Stanier. Teaming up with marketing and publishing
innovator and creator of Squidoo.com Seth Godin, they found a way to sell a book
and give away all of the profit in the fight against malaria.
"
This is the power of authors working together, the power of ebook distribution
and most of all, the power of people who care to make a difference. Over and
over, we're seeing that a new generation cares about business not just as a way
to make money, but as a way to make a difference. These authors (and their
readers) are making a difference at the same time they're saving lives." - Seth
Godin.
