The New York Times bestseller from the founders of WE Charity--a
human rights organization that has lifted over 1 million people from
poverty globally--Me to We is an uplifting and actionable guide for
personal and social change and a call to action to helping others,
featuring a new introduction by Academy Award--winning actress and
activist Natalie Portman.
Me to We is an approach to life that leads us to recognize what is
truly valuable, make different decisions about the way we want to live,
and redefine the goals we set for ourselves and the legacy we want to
leave. Both a manifesto and a manual*, Me to We* includes tales to
inspire, studies and statistics to persuade, and practical advice to
motivate and guide. Weaving together dynamic lessons and stories from
the world's top contributors to human rights and social involvement, the
Kielburger brothers show us that the best way to grow and develop as
human beings is by helping others.
Their philosophy, along with cutting-edge research on the nature of
personal and social change, embraces the idea that we can all build a
better life--and an ideal world--through reaching out to others. By
redirecting our energies and focusing from "me" to the "we" of our
communities, each individual can make an impact on our nation, and our
world as a whole. Supporters such as Oprah Winfrey, Richard Gere,
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Dr. Jane Goodall also share their original
stories that inspire us to believe that a better world can exist for all
of us. The Kielburgers teach us how to go about living our lives as
socially conscious and responsible people, engaging in daily acts of
kindness, building meaningful relationships through community, and
focusing on the impact of "we" decision making.
Both modern in its fresh way of looking at the world and traditional in
its return to the simplest, purest, and most basic impulse of humanity
to reach out and help each other, this philosophy represents a dynamic
shift in focus, and a new definition of success, happiness, and
community.
