If I could give it more stars I would...

The Kielburgers have managed to do it yet again. This book certainly matches the quality of the others they have put out in the past. Though this book really is for everyone, it appeals to an adult population that may not have already been reached. I seldom purchase books for others and I have already purchased 2 copies for friends and plan to give even more. Though labeled as a self-help book, it is less of a self-help and more about how we can help others. It reminds us of our responsibility to others and provides inspiration to continue to good things with great love. This book is perfect for those who have traveled to third-world countries, are helping others in their own communities, are participating in service learning, and those who may need a glimpse of the world beyond their front door. This book is, hands down, my favorite book of all time and is a book that I continue to read over and over again. It is great to see the work and message of people like Joe Opatowski continued through this book! Buy it and you will not regret it!

Amazing!

Words cannot describe the impact this book has had on my life. I highly recommend this book to everyone. Today's society is so "me" focused, we forget about everything else. After reading this book I started my own 501C3 organization. It's not everyday you read a book that reminds you why we are all here.

ME TO WE tells exactly how and will serve as an inspirational guide especially recommended for publi

The authors of ME TO WE are brothers who found that reaching out to others helped them be happier in their own lives: at age 12 Craig founded the international organization Free the Children, and human rights issues and work have led both to journeys around the world finding new connections. ME TO WE blends personal experiences with a philosophy geared to commitment and improving lives, offering the belief that individual action CAN make a difference in the world. ME TO WE tells exactly how and will serve as an inspirational guide especially recommended for public library collections. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch

A Lot of Wisdom from Youngsters

Having a kid about the age of the kids who wrote this book I find it rather amazing that they found what they wanted to do in life as early as they did and wonder how they had the drive and the financial capability to have carried their ideas as far as they have. The book concentrates on moving a persons attitude from thinking only about how to succeed themselves to thinking about a rather liberally defined we. As I understand their 'WE' it can be just bringing laughter to a group by being a comic. It can be a big thing like joining the peace corps, or a minor thing like volunteering somewhere to do something. I can't, for myself, say that I've done as much as I could have done down through the years. But I can say that even a simple thing like ringing the bell at the Salvation Army Christmas pot for a few hours makes me feel a lot better. And I can say that the book has an excellent grasp of how that is.
