" Start Something That Matters by Blake Mycoskie tells the story of TOMS, a shoe company with the motto of "One for One". Mycoskie reflects this motto with the result of whenever someone buys a pair of TOMS shoes, another pair will be given to a child who does not have shoes. Along with this short synopsis of TOMS, Mycoskie exhibits the six simple steps he used to start TOMS. He also says that those steps are steps that many other organizations, businesses and regular people have used to start something that matters. Overall I thought the book was very inspiring and straightforward. It thoroughly grasped the concept of starting something that matters. "

" I received this book with my last purchase of TOMS shoes. I've been a TOMS fan for a few years now. I absolutely love the shoes, and I loved reading about how Blake came up with the idea and executed it. While not necessarily a permanent solution to world poverty, TOMS is definitely a step in the right direction. Very inspiring book, goes recommended to anyone who has ever wanted to make a difference in the world. "
