Customer Reviews

simple actions, big difference
The stories from Ingrid's Newkirk's books are so inspiring and sweet, they remind us how one can indeed make a difference in the world and that it doesn't have to be a huge endeavor. Simple actions that enable people to expand in their experience and well being can be found anytime, anywhere if one is actually present with what is happening.
The spirit of these collected stories from well known actors and personalities, remind me of the work Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment, by award winning authors Ariel and Shya Kane. Reading their books and participating in their workshops in New York City has allowed me to directly experience making a difference in my environment plus a sense of satisfaction, regardless of the circumstances. What a gift to find authors that are giving back to the world by celebrating the brilliance in each of us! You too, can make a difference and have an impact in the well being of those around you, effortlessly and with simple actions.

One is not the loneliest number!
I was a big fan of Ingrid Newkirk's earlier book, Making Kind Choices: Everyday Ways to Enhance Your Life Through Earth- and Animal-Friendly Living, and I especially appreciated the focus on things each person can do to make a difference. So, as you can imagine, I was eager to read her new book, One Can Make a Difference, and I was not disappointed.

This book is filled with great stories from outstanding people -- including several personal heroes of mine, like the Dalai Lama and Martina Navratilova -- all about the ways that they have shown how any individual can make a contribution...or start an entire social movement. This is exactly the kind of inspiring read I needed to stay fired up to play my own part, and I imagine I'll be taking it down off the shelf again and again, whenever I need a boost. What a great book!

Un Livre Formidable!
This book will inspire and motivate anyone to be a better person. I expected mostly animal rights stories and while many of these incredible people love animals, it is not the main direction of the book.
The diversity of all these people, from all walks of life, makes this book even more enriching and fascinating. I couldn't put it down.
This will be the perfect birthday or holiday gift to many of my friends and relatives.
Bravo Ms. Newkirk! Because of particularly choosing these individuals, your own sensitivity,compassion and values shine through these wonderful and valuable people's accounts.
