Wes Moore graduated from a difficult childhood in the Bronx and Baltimore to an adult life that would find him at some of the most critical moments in our recent history: as a combat officer in Afghanistan; a White House fellow in a time of wars abroad and disasters at home; and a Wall Street banker during the financial crisis. In this insightful book, Moore shares the lessons he learned from people he met along the way-from the brave Afghan translator who taught him to find his fight, to the resilient young students in Katrina-ravaged Mississippi who showed him the true meaning of grit, to his late grandfather, who taught him to find grace in service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoore also tells the stories of other twenty-first-century change-makers who've inspired him in his search, from Daniel Lubetzky, the founder of KIND, to Esther Benjamin, a Sri Lankan immigrant who rose to help lead the Peace Corps. What their lives-and his own misadventures and moments of illumination-reveal is that our truest work happens when we serve others, at the intersection between our gifts and our broken world. That's where we find the work that lasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn intimate narrative about finding meaning in a volatile age, \u003ci\u003eThe Work \u003c\/i\u003ewill inspire readers to see how we can each find our own path to purpose and help create a better world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123135430896,"sku":"2940169409161","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169409161_p0.jpg?v=1763781722","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169409161","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
