I have been reading this book off and on for 20 years. I finally decided a few weeks ago to read one story a day. It lifted my spirits and reminded me that there is always something each of us can do to make this world a better place.

Most memorable story - Adagio in Sarajevo (the cellist of Sarajevo), pg. 248

[Carrie · Rating 3 out of 5]

A collection of stories of those who improve themselves, community and ultimately the world. Some great quotes included. Needs to be better edited.

[EJ Johnson · Rating 2 out of 5]

Stories of good things accomplished by ordinary people mostly from cooperation with other. Not great.
