A practical, inspirational, revolutionary guide to social innovation

Many of us have a deep desire to make the world around us a better place. But often our good intentions are undermined by the fear that we are so insignificant in the big scheme of things that nothing we can do will actually help feed the world's hungry, fix the damage of a Hurricane Katrina or even get a healthy lunch program up and running in the local school. We tend to think that great social change is the province of heroes - an intimidating view of reality that keeps ordinary people on the couch. But extraordinary leaders such as Gandhi and even unlikely social activists such as Bob Geldof most often see themselves as harnessing the forces around them, rather than singlehandedly setting those forces in motion. The trick in any great social project - from the global fight against AIDS to working to eradicate poverty in a single Canadian city - is to stop looking at the discrete elements and start trying to understand the complex relationships between them. By studying fascinating real-life examples of social change through this systems-and-relationships lens, the authors of Getting to Maybe tease out the rules of engagement between volunteers, leaders, organizations and circumstance - between individuals and what Shakespeare called "the tide in the affairs of men."

Getting to Maybe applies the insights of complexity theory and harvests the experiences of a wide range of people and organizations - including the ministers behind the Boston Miracle (and its aftermath); the Grameen Bank, in which one man's dream of micro-credit sparked a financial revolution for the world's poor; the efforts of a Canadian clothing designer to help transform the lives of Indigenous women and children; and many more - to lay out a brand new way of thinking about making change in communities, in business, and in the world.

Durable
Omg my dog loves this. The rubber is so durable my 2 yo aussie hasnt torn it up yet. I bought a cheap one from temu before and it took only 2 mins for my dog to tear it up it was complete waste of money. I love the football shape becahse it bounces unpredictably. I lile this to exhaust and exercise my aussie. This has become his favorite toy ever. It charges fast too. When im feeling lazy this is good way to exercise my dog and enrich him. I also teach him commands using this ball as his treat or reinforcement. Definitely worth every penny

The best toy for my dogs
I was looking for a toy that could keep my dogs entertained themselves for a long time because with the traditional balls they usually get bored quickly, But I’ve definitely loved this toy , I have two dogs of different sizes and they have a lot of fun playing with it, the ball bounces and makes sounds that really catch their attention, the quality ea great, even though they bite it , it hasn’t been damaged and it is easy to carry it. It's amazing

Didnt last.
Didnt even last a day. My dog is a 40 pound lab mix and figured out how to unscrew the toy within the first couple of hours. He then detroyed the plastic screw system on the inside.

Super fun toy!!
This is such a fun toy! My dog loves running after it. The shape is perfect for a medium sized dog . He isn't into the round balls, but this football shape is easier for him. I love the automatic movement because it don't have to contactly be throwing it.

Great, durable toy
Color: Blue-Red, Size: Extra Large Size 5 (9")
I’ve had this toy for a while now and my dog absolutely loves it. I frequently bring it to the dog park with us and it’s also loved by other dogs. The ball is pretty durable. My dog is not a big chewer but other dogs that play and chew on it haven’t been able to pierce it yet. The handles are sturdy and also still intact. Overall a little pricey but in my opinion worth it.
