About this audiobook
Throw a pebble into a stagnant pond, and you’ll generate concentric rings of ripples cascading outward. These little ripples disturb the surface of the water in every direction and reach every extremity of the pond. This phenomenon has been called the “ripple effect,” and it clearly illustrates how one individual in a sea of people can cause a disturbance and shake up the otherwise calm complacency of his or her environment. All of us are capable of stimulating such disturbances. But every now and then, individuals come along who don’t just cause ripples in the surfaces of our world but make huge waves instead. These waves are not mere disturbances. They represent permanent change. After such waves have passed, the pond or sea is never the same again. Several such “Wavemakers” are showcased in this audiobook. Coming from all walks of life, political affiliations, and worldviews, they each have in common the legacy of making waves so great that our world will forever be changed by their disturbances. There is much to learn from these people and we will not only enjoy their stories but also discover from their examples how to make waves of our own.
