This is a lovely book - a great book to keep on your coffee table or bedside, open it up and read a few pages.

It offers insightful information and effective strategies for making a positive impact in/on the world.

It's perfect for those who are overwhelmed and feel paralyzed to make any type of dent ..........

For the activist hunting down fresh inspiration or the beginner looking for a place to start, the founder of the UK's Centre for Innovation in Voluntary Action provides this practical, inventive idea-a-day guide that takes on big issues-peace, health, the environment and others-with the belief that "a lot of people doing a lot of little things could have a huge impact."

Though it's hard, in a list of 365, to avoid rehashing some old tricks (as acknowledged in March 16's entry, "Plant another tree"), the majority is impressively fresh: the entry for February 11 explains how to get wood-working tools to Africans who need them; August 3 outlines the "Hello, Peace!" project, which provides free phone calls between Israelis and Palestinians who want to discuss peace; April 16 teaches readers how to use their computers to fight AIDS while they sleep.

This is a book that is useful in the best way.

"Michael Norton is a one-man ideas factory."

The Guardian (UK)

"If you want to make a difference this year then I can do no better than recommend 365 Ways to Change the World by Michael Norton. His handbook makes it easy."

The Daily Telegraph (UK)
