I just wanted to second your recommendation for Do Good Work, a marvelous book. I picked it up last week and had trouble putting it down. I had been feeling, for lack of a better term, burned out with my current work. I felt a little light reading might help, so I bought this book. The rest is history, but it was cool to see it mentioned here. Keep up the great work.
