Short inspiring read about how people see something they don't like about the world and then work to change it, often with 15-minute "mini-miracles." Seo is an inspiration - and gives us no excuses to get up and do it! Each chapter has words of practical advice, examples from his life and inspiring examples from the real world. Also lists many resources, which probably need to be updated. But at the end of the book he gives his website for current web addresses.

"There's an old saying that money can't buy love. I disagree. Money, when used to create mini-miracles can buy love: a new roof for a family . . . You may find this unbelievable right now, but the more money you give . . . the better you will feel about yourself. It's the easiest path to self-improvement and happiness." p. 138

"Instead of guilting them into action, rephrase your approach. 'How would you feel if we spent next Saturday morning taking canned food to the food bank? I could really use your help." p 207

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book. I rarely buy books anymore because we have such a great library system here, but I would seriously consider purchasing a copy of this book for myself and as gifts for others. The concept of changing the world through 15-minutes a day is one that is easily applied and Danny Seo gives wonderful examples of how you can do just that in your own community. I read it in just one sitting. Definitely an uplifting book to read after your depressed from watching your local news about all the bad things that happen in our worlds.

Fascinating story of someone who wanted to make a difference and did -- with skills similar to yours and mine and in a bigger way than I could have imagined.

People make things happen all the time... only channeled this way, the effects are exponential and not a bad thing at all... Kudos to Danny Seo!

A book full of simple ways we can change the world for the better.
