We're thrilled to spread the word about GPC member David Shaw's recently published book, Wave Making – Inspired by Impact.

David's impactful experiences in science, business, stewardship of nature and other realms provide captivating illustrations of the importance of the Synergos mission: to help solve complex issues around the world by advancing bridging leadership, which builds trust and collective action. Definitely worth the read."

Upon the book's launch, Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing an enthusiastic review, highlighting one of its key lessons: adventure drives creativity. "Whether scaling a mountain or launching a groundbreaking venture, stepping into uncharted territory forces us to think differently. Shaw’s entrepreneurial ventures often began with bold questions: What if? Why not? These questions led to transformative innovations in science, technology, and conservation, proving that exploration is the seedbed of creativity", KDP wrote.

According to David, "The intention of these writings is more about raising thought-provoking questions for lively debate than providing answers or suggesting ways of thinking. As we all search for personally meaningful purpose and significant impact, I will have succeeded in my goal with this book if it helps others deal with these issues more wisely than I have", he explains. Wave Making is available in hard copy, paperback, e-book, and audiobook.
