Produktbeschreibung
In a world often paralyzed by fear and complacency, "Pushing Boundaries: How Risk Takers Shape Our World (and You Can Too!)" serves as a beacon of inspiration, urging you to become the risk-taker society needs. Harold M. Kolenbrander guides you through the life stories of incredible individuals who have rewritten the norms in fields ranging from civil rights to cutting-edge technology. Each story is not just a history lesson but an intimate look at the mechanics of change-how daring choices lead to transformative outcomes that better our world. But the book is more than just a collection of biographies. Harold also reflects on his own exciting/interesting/blessed life journey from the Midwest to New England. Along the way, he became a college professor and administrator, a university president, and a proponent of societal change, learning firsthand the importance of taking calculated risks. Discover the shared qualities of these pioneers and introspect about your role in the world. Will you be a spectator, or will you be a catalyst for change? As you turn the last page, you'll find yourself confronted with a compelling challenge: to identify your own areas of potential impact and to embrace risk as your ally in making a difference. This is more than a book; it's a call to action in a world that needs you now more than ever.
