The Butterfly Effect
by Andy Andrews
A gift book: the story of Joshua Chamberlain at Little Round Top and Norman Borlaug's wheat, traced back through the people whose small acts made them possible. The argument is that everything you do matters. It takes twenty minutes and it lands.
Read it if…
you want a short book to give someone who thinks their work is invisible.
Skip it if…
you want more than a single illustrated essay.
Three things you will actually use
- Everything you do matters.
- Chains of consequence are long and invisible.
- Your act is someone's turning point.
Do this first
Read it, then trace one good thing in your life back three people.
Our verdict
Twenty minutes, and it lands.
