Elephant lover Ellie has had a love of elephants since birth. She naturally gravitated to anything and everything regarding elephants. She has a room full of elephant toys, always receives elephant knick knacks as gifts, and she reads as much as she can about elephants. She even dreams of being a large animal vet, with a specialty of treating elephants. As part of her love, she has traveled to Sri Lanka, Thailand and Nepal to see her beloved elephants up close and personal. What she learned through experience, was a sad realization of how poorly treated elephants are, and how the tourism industry, one she herself was once a part of, is causing sad situations for this beloved creature. However, what she also found, were dedicated organizations committed to making a difference. This book came to be out of one little girl's pure love for elephants, her own encounters around the world, and her desire to raise funds to support organizations looking to provide better solutions.

You know the moments of inspiration that come out of nowhere? Maybe it's an idea for a product that will change people's lives, or a way to solve a conflict. No matter the epiphany, this surge of excitement is often as fleeting as the good ideas we abandon too quickly. But what if we took a chance? What if we used our momentum to see our ideas through? Our ancestors used their ideas for change. They took big risks to improve the lives of future generations, doing whatever it took with few alternatives. Now it's our turn to take the risks and change the world, but we're comfortable and complacent-even when we shouldn't be. In The Elephant's Dilemma, Jon Bostock shares how he took a chance with his fascinating story of business success. He shows how we're chained to our current reality, and what can happen when we break free and reimagine our future. His book is an urgent battle cry asking us to step forward, live a more fulfilled life, and leave a legacy for future generations.
