Amazing read---if you care about people

OK, so that's a guilt-enducing title for a post, but man, what a book.

Begging for Change, by Robert Eggar is, simply, amazing. An in your face rant about what's wrong and what's right with our sector, from a guy who runs the DC Central Kitchen. It's a fast read, more an autobiography with side rants than anything else.

But I can see why it won the McAdam award for best new nonprofit book this year. Good, mind-bending rethinking of our sector. It's going on my book club list for next cycle.
