Today Is End Malaria Day!

It isn't every day that I get an opportunity to participate in something of this magnitude, of this importance and help save a life. I'm not going to let this moment pass without doing my part. This book, End Malaria, has the power to save a life. Yes, good books can improve lives, shape lives, even change lives. But when was the last time a book literally helped save a life? If you're reading this, the answer is right now.

Box of Crayons in conjunction with The Domino Project is working with Malaria No More to help end malaria.

They're doing this by giving $20 from the purchase of each copy of End Malaria to Malaria No More to send a mosquito net to a family in need and to support life-saving work in the fight against malaria.

In addition to saving lives, buying this book means you can enjoy essays by 62 of America's favorite business authors, including Alan Webber, Alexandra Levit, Andy Smith, Barry Schwartz, Bill Jensen, Brené Brown, Charlene Li, Chris Brogan, Chris Guillebeau, Dan Pink, Danielle LaPorte, Dave Ramsey, David Allen, David Rock, Daymond John, Derek Sivers, Eileen McDargh, Gary E. Knell, Gary Vaynerchuk, Gina Trapani, Gopi Kallayil, Gwen Bell, Jeff Jarvis, Jessica Hagy, Jim Kouzes & Barry Posner, Jon Acuff, Jonah Lehrer, Jonathan Fields, Josh Kaufman, Josh Linknerv, Keith Ferrazzi, Lauryn Ballesteros, Les McKeown, Lynda Gratton, Melissa Daimler, Michael Bungay Stanier (editor), Mitch Joel, Nancy Duarte, Nicholas Carr, Nilofer Merchant, Pam Slim, Patrick Lencioni, Premal Shah, Rich Fernandez, Robert Biswas-Diener, Roger Martin, Ryan Vanderbilt, Sally Bonneywell/ Kim Lafferty/ Sue Cruse, Sally Hogshead, Scott Belsky, Scott Stratten, Seth Godin, Sir Ken Robinson, Steph Corker Irwin, Tom Peters, Tony Schwartz, Kevin Kelly, Richard E. Lapchick, Steven Johnson, Scott Case and Ashley Furniture.

Organized into three main sections — Focus, Courage, and Resilience — all essays in End Malaria share a desire to inspire readers to look within themselves for solutions to their everyday dilemmas and for motivation to realize their desires.

At its core, End Malaria is about doing great work, and there's no better work than saving a life. Please share this book with your friends, family, and coworkers, and encourage them to be a part in ending malaria.
