The honest story of one of Britain's most outstanding contemporary philanthropists.

These pages humorously follow Peter's varied career moves, from selling tickets for one of the Beatles' first major concerts to accidentally getting involved in a family feud in New York while trying to buy a wood processing business.

However, at the heart of the book is a serious mission to present a clear and enthusiastic position on strategic philanthropy, with the founding of the educational charity, The Sutton Trust.

Partly an inspiring autobiography, partly a passionate plea for social mobility and educational equality, Peter Lampl's autobiography describes how a self-made entrepreneur amassed a fortune and then chose to use it to help others.
