While encouraging you to “craft your vision of positive social change as well as your role in achieving it”, this book offers valuable guidance for those who wish to identify barriers in varying communities and addressing how to overcome these barriers. Be Bold helps you to realize the world-changing power that you possess by outlining four core elements to be utilized during your career. These elements range from advice on identifying what means the most to you in regards to your dreams, advice on the confidence that is necessary to address world-change, advice on how to question the status quo while creating new solutions to intractable social problems, and advice on identifying solutions with optimism when others lack the motivation. If you are a free-thinker and wish to make a major impact on the world, this book promotes you to take those ground-breaking ideas that you possess and muster all of your external and internal resources to test those ideas. Dorsey and Galinsky’s book maintains the idea that “reframing challenges as opportunities” is essential in a world that has need for growth and change.
