About the author: quoting from the book's back cover, "Paul Rogat Loeb, an associated scholar at Seattle's Center for Ethical Leadership is the author of 'Generation at the Crossroads. . .[and other titles]. He comments regularly on social involvement for 'The New York Times', 'The Washington Post,' 'Psychology Today'. . .and elsewhere." About the book: the reviewer for "The Philadelphia Inquirer," said of this book, "[It] brims with stirring stories of everyday heroes who saw something wrong, heeded the voice of their conscience, gathered support, and, acting in concert with others, changed things and made a difference." I read this book looking for some inspiration but sadly I feel it left me short. The stories were consistent but none of them really inspired me. I've spent some time being politically active not as much as some but I'm no novice, and maybe that's why this book left me feeling unfulfilled. I just kept expecting more and Soul of a Citizen kept letting me down. Good book for those looking to get started politically but not so good for those already active or active in the past. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Soul of a Citizen "awakens within us the desire and the ability to make our voices heard and our actions count. We can lead lives worthy of our convictions. A book of inspiration and integrity, "Soul of a Citizen "is an antidote to the twin scourges of modern life-powerlessness and cynicism. In his evocative style. Paul Loeb tells moving tells moving stories of ordinary Americans who have found unexpected fulfillment in social involvement. Through their example and Loeb's own wise and powerful lessons, we are compelled to move from passivity to participation. The reward of our action, we learn, is nothing less than a sense of connection and purpose not found in a purely personal life. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
