About this listen
'Take your dream, read this, and let it fly.' JO YOULE OBE, CEO of Missing People
The world can be a challenging place. It is often tempting to say ‘why doesn’t someone do something about it?’ But why shouldn’t that ‘someone’ be you?
You don’t have to be rich, powerful or a genius to make a profound and lasting difference to our world. All you need is an idea and the determination to make it happen. How to Change the World is the springboard to help you impact the world in the way you’ve always wanted.
From finding the money, to identifying the best people with whom to join forces, Jo Owen will help you launch, develop and scale an idea so that it has the most effective and meaningful social impact, and benefits as many people as possible.
Your idea can come from anywhere: from reading an article, talking to colleagues, or stumbling across a good idea that can be developed. Jo Owen champions that anyone can turn an idea into something that can have a meaningful and lasting impact on people’s lives and can perform the miracle of creating something great out of nothing.©2025 Jo Owen (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc
Critic Reviews
'With its clear, practical and pragmatic steps, this guide is invaluable for anyone who wants to change the world! Ruthlessly honest (and demanding the same from its reader), yet consistently inspiring and thought-provoking. Jo does not shy away from uncomfortable truths.' (Steve Cutts)
'Drawing on his experience as a charity founder, Jo articulates a formula for changing the world that has such resonance with my own experience I found myself nodding along as I was reading. I only wish this practical step-by-step guide on how to ignite the spark of an idea had existed when I started out. A must-read.' (Dr Nicola Sharp-Jeffs)
'This is the book that I wish I'd had when starting out as a social entrepreneur. It's rich with ideas and examples, organized around a simple, practical model. It'll be invaluable to anyone who aspires to get stuck in and really make a difference.' (Tom Ravenscroft)
'A much-needed practical guide to help anyone turn a good idea into a life changing social enterprise!' (Natasha Porter OBE)
