Looking forward to reading this book.
In reading these stories it inspires one to go out and make a difference. Although many of these essays show a small act of kindness, it always seems to snowball and turn into something huge. I think that we should all try to follow the examples set out in this.
This is a collection of stories from people such as The Dalai Lama, Stella McCartney, Kevin Bacon, Dr. Henry Heimlich, Oliver Stone and so many others. Ingrid introduces each and they tell their stories. It is an incredible, inspiring read.
