Find the Do-Gooder in You

I first read this book when I entered college in 2000 and it has continually remained a motivation and reference point for the past 6-years. After reading this book, I denounced my film making aspirations and took a path of public affairs. "How You Can Help" highlights simple ways you can incorporate doing good into various aspects of your life. Through inspirational stories and step-by-step guides to getting involved, Coplin provides a thorough outline of how you can make a difference. Idealistic, yes, but unlike many other inspirational books, Coplin cuts straight to the point. This book makes getting involved simple. I recommend "How You Can Help" to anyone, but especially young students trying to find their place in this world. It will help you find the do-gooder in you.

Get Inspired -- Do Some Good

Coplin's "How You Can Help" is an inspiration to both aspiring and life-long do-gooders alike. His easy-to-follow tips and guidelines for being a successful volunteer, donor and/or professional do-gooder make this book a must-read. "How You Can Help" crosses all boundaries, as it applies to anyone from parents looking to develop a neighborhood tutoring program to business-owners looking to make their companies more socially responsible. Coplin's tales of success provide inspiration for all. This book sets the standard for do-gooding and motivates each reader to do his or her part to make the world a better place.
