Truly Inspiring!. A MUST read for all humans.

Awesome reading. Truly inspiring! fascinated by TOMs and Blake story.

Inspiring.. This book is for anyone who needs a boost to really get an idea going. Great stories of giving, and how some make money doing it. It outlines the new road to success by helping others while doing business. Amazing, inspiring, fast read!

Simply great. This book has finally inspired me to and build something different..you will hear from me soon :)

The Best Book On Business I’ve Ever Read. I’ve read many books on business, and none of them reach the height of this book. It’s truly inspiring, truly subversive, and truly delightful.

Inspirational. This book has inspire me in many different ways. :)

Motivational. This book has inspired me so much. So glad that I was able to read this book. I was able to gain a new perspective on for-profit businesses.

Terrible! This is all promotion for TOMS. Fun fact Blake never wanted to write a book! In one of his YouTube interviews he himself said that this publishing deal was offered to him! The main reason for offering him that deal was because the company “Toms” was trending. To get the book out of the way he flew to New York to write it. This book is by far one of the most uninspired business books I have ever read! There are far too many examples. Throughout the book he continues to promote his friends by bringing up their books for example he’ll say “in one of my great mentor’s best selling book called (the business man) he shows you how to be a great business leader. He repeats this with different books from his buddies all throughout the reading. You will not learn how to start something that matters instead you will learn examples of companies who are ethical with unhelpful stories that have nothing to do with business while persuading you to buy books! Also every link he includes to the website “start something that matters.com” will take you directly to TOMS website where you are persuaded to buy buy buy! Profits over Knowledge is the message I got from this book!

Inspiring!. Thanks blake for awesome and inspiring book, I'll recommending to anybody who is working hard but feels empty. For sure I want to start something that matters and now I know that giving is a good business even when is not money. Gracias blake , un hermano Dominicano : Juan.

Absolute motivation and encouragement. This book was such a great read. The book's message has inspired me to start my own "something that matters." I have already began writing down ideas and talking to professionals who can help. Thank you Blake and thank you TOMS!

Start Something That Matters. This was a very good story! This was a very good how-to, when-to and what-to-do now handbook. This is an inspirational tool for anyone who has that passion to create a Do-Good Company locked inside of them and in need of a key to unlock the thoughts and actions to get it done!

Start Something That Matters. My husband and I heard Blake give the keynote address at the recent National AIA Convention in Denver. We have both started companies over the 50 years of our marriage. Now we are energized and about to embark on new ventures in our community. If everyone in America would embrace Blake's passion for action, together we could remake A country that seems to be in a state of apathy and inaction. Sandra M. Wisconsin

A new begining. I am brainstorming, redefining my next step, refocusing energy...and found this amazing story, life changing movement. Blake, I thank you! And trust in your experience to use it to learn and start a meaningful movement inspired in the One for One. You have give form and inspiration to an idea! JCB

TOMS Inspires. I cannot put this book down. It is chockfull of inspirational stories of TOMS humble beginnings to other startups that made it. It's also very practical with great tangible ideas for any small business. If you are starting a non-profit, small business, or planting a church this book is for you.

The first step. This book was my first step. I have had an idea for a company aimed at making a difference for about 2 years now and this book has reassured me in ever way of why I should start something that matters. Thank you

So great!. It's one of my favorite books. It's so inspiring, and made me appreciate what Blake started so much more.

Changed my entire business perspective. This book gave me a plan on how to approach a concept I've had for years, but didn't know how to go about getting it started effectively. Great read!

This book means everything!. For someone who has a passion to start their own business, this book means everything to me! I dont want to sell products just to make money, I want to contribute to the world, give back to the communities and be an integral part of changing the world for the better. This book shows you it is possible and is a amazing! Read it!

AWESOME!!. This book is a fantastic book to read for anyone wanting to start some type of business!! I enjoyed every page of the book!!

Inspirational!. This book is such a huge inspiration. It put my life into perspective and made me realize that I need to focus more on giving to others in order to have a truly successful and fulfilling life. Thanks Blake! Can't wait to get started!

Outstanding. After only reading the first chapter I rushed to Nordstrom to buy a pair of shoes for my sister in Quebec . I had the wrong size twice but every effort I went through in the process was small to compared to the gift I'm making for a child . Nicole Boivin Giroux

Must read. Anyone who wants to make an impact in the world needs to read this book.

Great insight. I am starting my first business and for the first time I heard someone say all of the feelings that I was going through. I'm not alone and that makes a big difference. Best inspiration you could ever get

This book matters!. Very insightful... The book made me want to change the world...

Amazing Book. Truly an inspirational book. Whether your starting a business or charity or just looking for the next book to enjoy, this is it. His story is great. Finally something different
