This was definitely an inspirational book. It is amazing to see the work being done by young people across the world. The stories became a little redundant after the first 100 pages or so.
This book has 75 stories of young people. These young people have made tremendous accomplishments. I think this is a good read for all readers but teenagers would benefit from seeing others accomplishments.
lots of variety in the stories. Good read for teens/young adults.
“2 Billion Under 20” is an excellent book of compiled stories of inspirational millennials. Although the book doesn't present a story it still gives you a sense of wanting to keep turning the page, which I have never gotten with a non-chronological book before. The book starts off with a memorable line along the lines of “Most people say millennials are screwed,” and then presents you with 300 rich pages of the opposite. The book is great, when you read it, it makes you fight to decide whether
FTC Disclosure: I received this book free from Goodreads hoping I would review it.
Great book detailing millenials aged 20 and below who are changing the world as we know it. The main themes of the book: Don't lose your childlike idealism or your passions, but instead chase after it, take action, learn under mentors and give. Take action. And lastly, be resilient. Fail. And fail afterwords. Then fail again. Get used to failure. But never let that failure stop you, instead bounce back up again, let it change you and harden you, as you grow into the best version of yourself. I h...
This is an inspirational look at millennials that started making contributions to our world before the age of twenty. It’s a great reminder to the young that they can make a difference.
too many people being included in the books, it made the section for each person is very little, one of the section even only has 2 pages which is kinda impactless. It should be better if there are less person in the book, and even better if it can connect one story to another since some people has success in same area. The cover is also deceiving because it only put 16 pictures, but it tells story of 50+ person
I did not expect to be inspired by this book and yet I was. One gap in this book was the repeated discussions of how "Oh, school isn't for me," but then other essays would mention how important the skill of writing was. Of course, one does not need to go to school to learn writing, necessarily, but I suppose the bigger point to me is that this set of hard-driving young people shows me the need for proper gifted & talented educational tracks at all sorts of age levels. I went to FaceBook to look
I was hoping for more of a book of wisdom from young people, or at the very least, some interesting biographies. Some of the stories were well-written, most were "meh". A great majority of the stories were what the authors wanted to say and not actually what I wanted to read from them. Like, I don't want to ask an 18 year old for advice, I want him/her to tell me about the things he/she went through; I'll find the advice in between the lines. And some of the stories weren't very special or uniqu...
This book is OK. Just a bunch of essays from people a few years younger than me with semi-ambitious goals. None of these guys are Outliers to me, maybe I just know awesome people. But I dunno. Nothing that was said here was amazing or super inspiring. However, I'm not under 20 (I'm 26). I'd recommend this to my seven year old nephew. I'll definitely look for The Earth Is Flat though.
