Thirst

Ten years ago, at 28, former nightclub promoter Scott Harrison thought he had it all, a good car, a model girlfriend and money to spare in an endless cycle of drugs, booze, and sex. But he was desperately unhappy, and although he had all the money and material possessions someone could ask for, he gave it all up to pursue a more meaningful life. Walking away from everything, Harrison spent the next 16 months on a hospital ship in West Africa and discovered his true calling. And, in 2006, with no money and less than no experience, Harrison founded charity: water. Today, his organization has raised over $300 million to bring clean drinking water to more than 8.2 million people around the globe. In this new book Thirst, Harrison recounts the twists and turns that built charity: water into one of the most trusted and admired nonprofits in the world.

100% of the net proceeds from Thirst will go to fund charity: water projects around the world.
