The Blue Sweater is Now Available

The Blue Sweater - Acumen Fund CEO Jacqueline Novogratz's personal memoir about her quest to understand global poverty - is now in stores. I can't wait to get started this weekend after reading all the blog and news coverage of it. Here are a few of the highlights:

-BusinessWeek gives The Blue Sweater four stars

-The Financial Times has a glowing review (subscription required)

-The McKinsey Quarterly has a video interview and excerpt on its site

-And GOOD writes, "it can be easy to forget that one person can make a massive, humongous, undeniable impact on the world. I've had my many cynical moments—we all have. Which is why it's nice to be reminded from time to time that there are muses out there we can look to for some pointers. Today, here's someone to think about: Jacqueline Novogratz, founder of Acumen Fund and first-time author."

Happy reading!

  1. In both good and bad news, the book is completely sold out on both Amazon and B&N.com. Pretty incredible. But, I understand that they will be available again and ready to ship within 1 week! So, no despair...but just a little patience required. Happy reading!
