It is about learning to think boundlessly and critically, and choosing what at first may be the tougher path for later, greater rewards.

He invested in being a helping hand, a kind heart, and is trying to change the world.

When I first started reading Do the Kind Thing, I expected it to be another overcoming-challenges-rags-to-riches-rah-rah story. As it turns out, author Daniel Lubetzky does not regurgitate laments of an underdog rising to the top in the business world against all odds. Instead, he tells about his life's altruistic mission in a refreshing style that illustrates the power of authenticity and vulnerability so much so that the reader feels like the author's success is his or
