BE THE CHANGE! shares the personal, inspiring stories of people who have made a commitment to make a part of the world a better place. Edited by Michelle Nunn, cofounder and CEO of Hands On Network, BE THE CHANGE! chronicles the indomitable spirit within each individual, and all of us collectively, that seeks to "be the change" in our own communities. Through poignant and intimate stories as well as the advice of hundreds of citizens, business and civic leaders, sports figures, and celebrities, BE THE CHANGE! challenges readers to take their own journey of service and discovery. It provides practical advice, inspiration and humor, revealing how volunteering can change the world - and an individual's life. The book's Foreword, by journalist Tom Brokaw, focuses on a new generation of heroes working to make their communities stronger. Contributors to the book tutored children in Georgia, built homes for Habitat for Humanity in Texas, collected coats for the homeless in New York, worked with refugee immigrants in Virginia, rebuilt homes ravaged by Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi, among other great deeds. Hands On Network - a growing network of service organizations with over half a million members - and Hundreds of Heads Books asked hundreds of volunteers across the country how - and why - they volunteer, and how their service has changed their lives. The stories reveal the amazing strength, spirit and diversity of community service. The book includes personal stories from many prominent national and civic leaders, including U.S. Senator Bill Frist, retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, bestselling author Deepak Chopra, M.D., The Home Depot CEO Bob Nardelli, and news commentator Cokie Roberts, among others.
