Publisher's Description

What motivates people to do extraordinary things? Most people want to contribute to others’ lives, but what causes some to move beyond their immediate circle to impact a broader or global community? In Making a Difference, Margaret Attwood interviews eleven inspiring people, teasing out the factors that set them apart and providing a pathway to taking action on the issues that one cares about. Ambivalence is common when it comes to effecting change: often people want to do something but lack the knowledge or confidence needed to take appropriate action. Attwood explores how to use principles drawn from these interviewees’ lives to get in touch with one’s passions, expand one’s horizons, and overcome any obstacle to really make a difference.
