There is a beautiful book written by such a social entrepreneur, Bill Shore, titled "The Light of Conscience: How a Simple Act Can Change Your Life" with some wonderful stories. Shore is the founder and executive director of Share Our Strength (www.strength.org), a national nonprofit that has raised millions to support antihunger and antipoverty organizations around the world. I think you'd enjoy reading about him and his organization.
