Impact Imperative offers key insight and and a positive message for humanity's future, that is all-encompassing and boldly transformative. It presents a method of understanding and being encouraged by a movement of progressive innovators and entrepreneurs working towards making positive impact on our world through sciences such as biotech and engineering and social or political movements. It also promotes collaboration from educating the greater status quo in investing in conscious efforts which will also be essential in generating the right momentum for positive change. The text also highlights problems with the increasing inequality, thorough data analyses across cultures of trends that need redirecting, and also presents interesting alternative trajectories for a future in 2030 which has the potential to be achieved.
I believe this text could have been shorter, which dissuaded some of my enjoyment of it. It's best just to get to the point. Overall, not a bad read.

Thank you to Netgalley, Pamela Ryan and Greenleaf Book Group Press for this free advanced readers copy for an honest review.

Incredibly inspiring!
Impact Imperative is about the present and future of impact innovation, investment, and entrepreneurship and about the challenges humanity is facing in the next decade - climate change, deeper socioeconomic disparities between classes, and political radicalization among others. Dr. Ryan introduces fascinating impact innovators, shares advice on how to do good and avoid doing harm, and describes 4 distinct scenarios for the future, each defined by the scale of impact innovation done in the next decade.
