About This Book
At 28, Scott Harrison had everything—and was miserable enough to walk away from all of it.
A decade as one of New York City's top nightclub promoters left Harrison morally bankrupt and desperately searching for meaning. What followed was 16 months on a hospital ship in West Africa and, in 2006, the founding of charity: water with no money and no nonprofit experience. Thirst recounts how that reckless act of faith grew into an organization that has brought clean drinking water to millions worldwide—built on a 100% donation model, radical transparency and bold storytelling that reshaped how nonprofits operate.
For anyone wrestling with purpose, building something from nothing or asking whether it's too late to start over, this is an honest account of what redemption actually costs—and what it can build. Every dollar of Harrison's net proceeds funds charity: water projects around the world.
