Build a Life Rich in Experiences and Die With No Regrets – by Bridget Hilton and Joe Huff
In their book, Bridget Hilton and Joe Huff explore the art, science, and pathway to crafting a life enriched by meaningful experiences.
Throughout our existence, society often teaches us to assess our prosperity solely in terms of currency.
However, as we approach the end of our journey, the most common regret among those departing this world has nothing to do with money; it revolves around the unfulfilled experiences they desired but never pursued.
In the grand tapestry of life, our experiences constitute the true wealth. Yet, curiously, many of us lack a concrete strategy for seeking out and investing in these experiences.
Instead, we tend to defer our personal aspirations to an elusive “someday,” often postponing them until it becomes too late.
Bridget Hilton and Joe Huff embarked on their life journeys devoid of connections, wealth, fame, or formal education.
Yet, by embracing the joy of extraordinary experiences, they unlocked the transformative potential of their lives.
Drawing on years of interviews with experts in social science, conducting one of the most extensive surveys on life experiences ever conducted, and immersing themselves as experiential enthusiasts, Bridget and Joe’s adventures have been nothing short of exceptional.
Their exploits include becoming samurai, dancing under the northern lights, tracking silverback gorillas amidst a hailstorm, confronting hungry lions on safari, racing across glaciers on dog sleds, gleaning life lessons from Maasai tribesmen, aiding in the construction of schools for underprivileged children, learning from monks, facilitating hearing for 50,000 individuals, swimming with sharks, and delving into the vast treasure trove of life’s experiential offerings.
“Experiential Billionaire” serves as a key to unlocking the secrets of leading a profoundly gratifying life without regrets.
This guidebook is grounded in compelling research, weaves captivating real-life narratives, and provides actionable insights into the pursuit of a life filled with enriching experiences.

Authored by Daniel Lubetzky, this book offers a candid and deeply personal perspective from the vantage point of an innovative social entrepreneur.
Influenced by his father’s profound survival tale during the Holocaust, Lubetzky embarked on a journey that began with handselling a sun-dried tomato spread—crafted collaboratively by Arabs and Jews—amidst the turmoil of the Middle East.

How Your Desire for Impact, Personal Growth and Community Is Changing the World – By : Aaron Hurst
In his latest book, Aaron Hurst, the CEO of Imperative, explores a series of transformative shifts occurring in the economy.
Millennials are breaking away from traditional career trajectories, opting to launch tech start-ups, establish small businesses rooted in local communities, or freelance their expertise.
The sharing economy has become a prominent feature of our lives, encompassing everything from shared bikes and cars to renting out spare rooms in our homes.
Moreover, the trend of creating, buying, and selling handcrafted products within local communities has gained significant momentum.
Hurst argues that while these developments may initially seem disparate, they collectively unveil a powerful underlying pattern, one that heralds purpose as the new driving force behind the American economy.
Drawing parallels to the Information Economy, which has fueled innovation and economic growth in the past, Hurst posits that our current economic landscape thrives on connecting individuals with their sense of purpose.
This emerging economy places value on establishing purpose for both employees and customers, achieved through the fulfillment of needs beyond self-interest, personal growth, and the cultivation of community.
Grounded in extensive interviews with thousands of entrepreneurs, Hurst illustrates how this new era is already generating demand for a wide range of products and services, reshaping the way Millennials perceive their careers.
A new breed of startups, including the likes of Etsy, Zaarly, Tough Mudder, Kickstarter, and Airbnb, is pioneering innovative approaches to creating value by fostering connections within local communities.
Concurrently, established companies such as Tesla and Whole Foods are transitioning from targeting affluent consumers to becoming mainstream brands. Hurst dubs these companies, together with their visionary founders, as the tastemakers of the Purpose Economy.
This book offers a dual perspective, serving as a personal memoir recounting Aaron Hurst’s own journey as a purpose-driven entrepreneur.
In 2001, he departed from a lucrative tech position to launch Taproot, a venture that paved the way for millions of professionals and Fortune 500 companies to engage in volunteer work for nonprofits.
Additionally, it functions as a blueprint for a new economic era that is reshaping companies, markets, and career paths to better align with the needs of people and the world at large.
The New Kind of Capitalism that Serves Humanity’s Most Pressing Needs – By: Muhammad Yunus
Muhammad Yunus, the innovative thinker who pioneered microcredit and was honored with the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the Grameen Bank, has introduced a groundbreaking concept within capitalism known as “social business.”
By channeling the profit-driven energies of businesses toward the goal of meeting essential human needs, social business emerges as a self-sustaining and viable commercial venture.
These enterprises not only stimulate economic growth but also contribute to the betterment of the world by producing goods and services with a positive impact.
Within the pages of this book, Yunus vividly illustrates how the theory of social business has evolved into a compelling practice, embraced by prominent corporations, forward-thinking entrepreneurs, and committed social activists across continents, including Asia, South America, Europe, and the United States.
Through real-world examples, Yunus showcases the transformative power of social business in improving lives.
He offers pragmatic guidance to those aspiring to create their own social businesses, elucidates the adjustments required in public and corporate policies to accommodate this innovative model, and articulates why social business holds the potential to address the shortcomings of traditional free-market enterprise.

How an Audacious Goal Taught Me to Love the World Instead of Save ItBy: Jena Lee Nardella
Jena Nardella, cofounder of Blood:Water and one of Christianity Today’s 33 Under 33, shares a “captivatingly honest” (Publishers Weekly) account of how her passion for saving the world grew into a humbler, long-term calling of loving the world in all its brokenness in this beautifully written memoir.
Ten years ago, Jena Lee Nardella was a fresh-out-of-college, twenty-something with the lofty goal of truly changing the world.
Armed with a diploma, a thousand dollars, and a dream to build one thousand wells in Africa, she joined forces with Grammy Award–winning band Jars of Clay to found Blood:Water and begin her mission.
Jena’s dream for her nonprofit turned that initial $1 into $20, and then $100, and today into more than $25 million.
Working throughout eleven countries in Africa, Blood:Water has provided healthcare for over 62,000 people in HIV-affected areas and has partnered with communities to provide clean water for more than one million people in Africa.
But along the way she faced many harsh realities that have tested her faith, encountered corruption and brokenness that nearly destroyed everything she’d fought for, and learned that wishful thinking will not get you very far.
Jena discovered true change comes only when you stop trying to save the world and allow yourself to love it, even when it breaks your heart.

The incredible story of the man behind TOMS Shoes and One for One, the revolutionary business model that marries fun, profit, and social good. People often ask me what I consider my goal to be at TOMS. The truth is that it’s changed over the years.
When we first began, the goal was to create a for-profit company to help the children that I met in a small village in Argentina. And that objective to give new shoes to children in need continues to be a powerful driver for me and everyone else at TOMS.
But recently my personal mission has changed. Today, I would say that my goal is to influence other people to go out into the world and have a positive impact, to inspire others to start something that matters, whether it’s a for-profit business or a nonprofit organization.
I feel a deep sense of responsibility to share everything that we’ve learned from TOMS, so that others can learn from both our mistakes and the counter intuitive principles that have guided our success.
The Revolutionary Path to Big Impact By: Michel Gelobter
For years, the lean startup has been revolutionizing both new and established businesses. In this eye-opening book, serial social entrepreneur Michel Gelobter shows how it can do the same for nonprofits.

Its mantra is “build, measure, learn”: create small experimental initiatives, quickly get real-world feedback on them, and use that data to expand what works and discard what doesn’t.
How Entrepreneurs and Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the Worlds Problems By: Micheal Strong
What if the distinction between business and doing good vanished? What if all those who engaged in business were committed to a deeper purpose, and all those committed to doing good were entrepreneurial and enterprising?
What would it take for a world of seven billion such people to solve all the world’s problems?
More and more people are looking for meaning and purpose in their lives as employees, as consumers, and as investors.
More and more people have more than enough material goods and are more interested in the qualities of the goods they buy; in the experiences associated with the services they provide and buy; in the way the companies they buy from act as citizens; and in self-actualization—rising up Maslow’s hierarchy.
As an increasing percentage of the population reaches the point at which they no longer need more stuff, what will they do, how will they live their lives?

How to be Great at Doing Good is a complacency-shattering guidebook for anyone who wants to actually change the world, whether as a donor, a volunteer, or a non-profit staffer.
Drawing on eye-opening studies in psychology and human behavior, surprising interviews with philanthropy professionals, and the author’s fifteen years of experience founding and managing top-rated non-profits, this book is an essential read for anyone who wants to do more good with their time and money.

How Business, Government, and Social Enterprises Are Teaming Up to Solve Society’s Toughest Problems By: William D. Eggers and Paul Macmillan
World hunger. Climate change. Crumbling infrastructure. It’s clear that in today’s era of fiscal constraints and political gridlock, we can no longer turn to government alone to tackle these and other towering social problems. What’s required is a new, more collaborative and productive economic system.
The Solution Revolution brings hope—revealing just such a burgeoning new economy where players from across the spectrum of business, government, philanthropy, and social enterprise converge to solve big problems and create public value.
By erasing public-private sector boundaries, the solution economy is unlocking trillions of dollars in social benefit and commercial value.
Where tough societal problems persist, new problem solvers are crowdfunding, ridesharing, app-developing, or impact-investing to design innovative new solutions for seemingly intractable problems.
Providing low-cost health care, fighting poverty, creating renewable energy, and preventing obesity are just a few of the tough challenges that also represent tremendous opportunities for those at the vanguard of this movement.
They create markets for social good and trade solutions instead of dollars to fill the gap between what government can provide and what citizens need.
Having the Guts to Pursue What Makes You Come Alive By: Jonathan David Golden & Bob Goff

He also shows readers how to cultivate a community of support that will help them fulfill a calling.
