As we slowly emerge from the recession, a young generation is searching for practical answers about how to succeed  while also making positive change in the world.  Making Good is a new book that explores how thousands of young people can  find practical ways to succeed financially while making positive change in the world.   The book explores areas such as food, energy, and education and outlines how to find opportunities to earn money and create change

The book outlines each step that is needed in order to achieve financial autonomy and find opportunities, while sharing success stories and sharing skills and advice.

The book is co-authored by Billy Parish and Dev Aulia, two successful change-makers.  Billy Parish,co-founded the Energy Action Coalition, the largest youth advocacy organization in the world working on climate change issues, is co-founder and President of Solar Mosaic, a solar energy marketplace and serves on numerous non-profit and clean-tech boards.  Dev Auila is the Founder of DreamNow, a charitable organization that works with young people to develop, fund and implement social change projects

The book is just part of the Making Good project.  Parish and Aulia have a goal to “help hundreds of thousands of people build careers that make money and change the world. The book, our partnerships and the series of missions are our first step to achieving this goal.”

To support this goal, there are missions and experiments to support new projects and to inspire others to think and live for the future.  On the book’s website, there is a signup area to sign up for a series of missions where individuals can meet others, build skills, and find opportunities to help get a job that makes money and changes the world.

There also is a series of Experiments –which are projects that are being supported that explore new ideas and resources to creative positive change.  Some of the experiments include Gameful, an initiative to support games for change, Doors Wide Open, a new kind of career fair, and Climate Spark Incubator, a program to match environmental ventures.

Wondering how you can live ethical in a economy that seems corrupt?  Want to create a positive shift and make money?  Pick up a copy of the book, and check the website for the Making Good blog, and to sign up for the missions that will soon be posted on the site.
