Before you scroll down and find out that most of this icons is western and you might think they are not that famous, let me explain.
This book was made by western and naturally they know a lot about people there but not people here in the Asia. In addition, even though this book not cover people here, it does not mean people in Asia not contributed to changes in this world at all. This book showed the list of people that changed the world, more like opinion to me because it can be argue and change later.
However, let not judge this book by the title of it but take a look inside the book on the information of every single person this book listed. There are a lot that can we learn from this book, and one of them is it does not mater who you are and where you come from, anybody can change the world with our talent, work, invention and philosophy.
Let's make this book as our inspiration. Take a look on the good of all things not their bad one.
