One Can Make a Difference is a Book That WILL Change Your Life

One Can Make a Difference will make a difference, all right.  It'll make a difference in the life of each and every person who reads the book.  Which is precisely why I'm recommending it to every single person I can reach - by any means possible.The book is a compilation of incredible essays by individuals such as The Dalai Lama, Paul McCartney, Willie Nelson, Helen Thomas, Oliver Stone, Martina Navratilova, Stella McCartney, Russell Simmons, Brigitte Bardot, Moby, Kevin Bacon, Sean Astin and many others.  Each individual gives an account of a moment in their life when they realized that their world goes beyond their arm's reach.  The moment they realize that they can make a difference.The moment they realize there's work to be done.The author of the book is Ingrid Newkirk.  If you're an animal lover extraordinaire (welcome to the club!), you probably recognize her name as the president of PETA.  I've long admired this woman's commitmen
t and boldness.  As someone who is about as bold as a 2 day old kitten on a good day, I admire boldness. Ingrid Newkirk's got it in spades!I'll be the first to admit that there have been times when I thought PETA went too far. But, really, isn't that better than not going at all?  Most animal lovers would say, "Yes."One Can Make a Difference includes stories of men and women who have changed their corner of the world for the better.  There's the inspiring, motivating story of the woman who saved a young elephant from the carnival circuit, then went on to create an elephant sanctuary in Tennessee.  You would be unable to count the number of elephants lives she has saved and the needless suffering she has ended.There are stories of individuals who are helping to feed the hungry, people who are actively trying to save the environment, and angels of mercy who are dedicated to doing whatever it takes to make the world a better place for as
many people as possible.The most motivating thing about this book is that each man, woman, and child is a flesh and blood human - just like you and me.  They weren't born any more or any less special than we were.  The majority of them weren't born with any sort of advantage at all.  They created their advantages.  You read these incredible stories and you're left with the realization that you can accomplish whatever you want as well.  The surge of motivation and inspiration is phenomenal!In addition to being a wife, mother (3 daughters, 4 cats), avid cook, web publisher, web designer, writer, and movie watching addict, I love to read.  I try to work in as many books into my week as possible - which means I generally read one, then move on to the next.  However, with One Can Make a Difference, I broke with tradition.  I have read this book three times.  If one isn't inspired to change the way they look at the world and the way the
y think about life after reading this book, they'll never be inspired to do anything.This book would make a beautiful Christmas gift, birthday gift, or graduation present.  As Galileo once said, "You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself."  That is precisely what this book gives to its reader.And it'd be hard to ask for more than that.
