What started as a trekking holiday in Nepal became a spiritual journey, and then a mission: to change the world one book and one child at a time. So upon returning from holiday, John did what most of us can only dream of doing: he walked away from millions to do "more". Over the next five years he would make the unlikely marriage between Microsoft business practices and the world of non-profits to create Room to Read, an organization that has created a network of over 2,000 schools and libraries (with over one million books) throughout communities in Southeast Asia and India.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/5749-john-wood-leaving-microsoft-to-change-the-world">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/4013-the-george-w-bush-library-will-cost-500-million 2008-06-08T09:31:13Z youngturks <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fk_hXV4cke8&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fk_hXV4cke8&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/4013-the-george-w-bush-library-will-cost-500-million"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/3264" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>The Young Turks discuss the cost of the new George W.
