In the week after Seth Godin published Poke the Box, people wrote the author sharing stories of how they were taking initiative in their own lives. People were encouraged to write to The Domino Project and share stories of people who are poking the box by going above and beyond to make a difference by doing. These stories were posted and the readers voted on their favorites.
Many of the submissions were about people who were making their workplaces better, some were starting a new business, and many were improving their communities or devising creative philanthropy.
Tales of the Revolution: True Stories of People who are Poking the Box and Making a Difference is a collection of the best ranked one hundred stories. These stories will inspire you to take the information that you received from reading Poke the Box and use it to make a difference in the world. I have listed the details from some of these stories below.
