Book Review of One Person Can Make A Difference: Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things

reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


The vibrant human beings who come to life on these pages have one thing in common. They have dared to follow their hearts. They have discovered within themselves a power to overcome terrible tragedies and nearly insurmountable obstacles. That power is love.
Using celebrities as well as "ordinary" people whos names never make headlines, Dr. Jampolsky presents a blueprint for transorming a world filled with hopelessness into a world of possibilities and change. He shows us that often all it takes is one small action to set off a chain reaction within a community - one letter, one blanket given to a homeless person, one act of forgiveness. He also demonstrates:
Why age is never a barrier to making a difference
How helping others can heal ourselves
How you can do one thing every day to change the world
Why your thoughts are as important as your deeds
How you need never feel alone and helpless again
By showing us how to use our unlimited potential, Dr. Jampolsky provides an uplifting message for these troubled times. This prescription of hope reminds us that all we really need is love.
