The Red String 1 Martin Zappellaz

The search for purpose is essential in these times where the balance between work and happiness is more necessary than ever. This short book is an account of several of the stories and learnings that I obtained during my first 12 months of travel where I was able to visit 64 countries, meet more than 8,000 people (including Pope Francis), two Nobel Peace Prize laureates, startup founders of world level startups and be a speaker at universities such as Harvard, MIT, HSE Russia, The Hague University, Mondragon University, among others. Financed with the sale of bracelets for $2 dollars that say TOGETHER WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD and with the main objective of raising awareness about the importance of following our dreams and creating a better future. This compilation is a small, personal story, made with the expectation of telling the flip side of giving up everything to find the purpose and show how it is possible to achieve dreams accompanied by the cause, the effort and the right people. It is also a co-creation process where I welcome you to make your contributions and build the final edition that will be released at the end of my trip to 194 countries around the world.50% of the final profits from this printed book, and from the red bracelets, will be invested in social entrepreneurs. Thank you for helping to build a better world. Translated by Mariel Olivera and Martin ZappellazMore information at circolo.life
