Ken Banks Ken Banks is a British award-winning social entrepreneur, mobile
technology and global development expert with an undergraduate major in Social
Anthropology with Development Studies. He is best known for developing
FrontlineSMS, a mobile messaging platform used today by non-profits in over 190
countries around the world. Ken is also a published author. His first edited
book, The Rise of the Reluctant Innovator,
[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...] was
self-published in late 2013 and came with a Foreword from Archbishop Desmond
Tutu. A follow-up, Social Entrepreneurship and Innovation
[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...],
published by Kogan Page, was released in March 2016.  The Pursuit of Purpose The
Pursuit of Purpose is an honest, poignant, and emotionally powerful book. It’s a
story about struggle, finding a purpose in life, striving to build a fairer
society, and discovering who you are along the way.  It's a book in three
parts. Purpose Pursued begins on the beautiful island of Jersey, where a
difficult early childhood shaped and influenced Ken. We learn how a global music
event lead to an unexpected awakening, and the incredible lengths he went to try
and find some sort of purpose and meaning in life. Later, in Purpose Lived,
we’ll find out what happened when he eventually found it, and lived it, and the
wider impact that finding purpose has had not just on him, but many others he
met and worked with along the way. Then, to wrap things up, Purpose
Explored looks at the meaning of purpose, how and why it matters in different
cultures, the role our ancestors might play in our own drive for purpose, and
any lessons we might learn from Ken's own fascinating journey. Recommended Links
