Product Description
This timely compilation features 365 simple actions people can take to change the world, one day - or even five minutes - at a time. Each suggested action, in 16 "helping" categories, can be started and finished in a day or less, and none requires a cash donation. Readers may choose to accomplish a different altruistic step each day of the year, activate the same tool every day, or take actions that address a personally favored issue, such as animal welfare, or the pursuit of peace. Possibilities for compassionate service include acting as driver for a battered women's shelter, planting trees or a garden at a schoolyard, recycling running shoes into a playground surface, taking a day off from consumerism, aiding low-income students in finding grants and scholarships, helping unemployed workers put together resumes, and much more.

Being the Difference... February 3, 2005

If, like me, you've been feeling that sending a check somehow isn't `enough', this is The resource that makes doing `more' easy.
If you're involved with inventing or organizing `service projects', it's a MUST. Definitely the handiest resource for getting your/ their imagination going anyone could possibly wish for.
And if you want to start making a difference before you even get the book, add copies for your local library and scout troops to your order. It's that great.

What a refreshing read - both thought provoking and resourceful, In today's "information overload" society, it's nice to have a handy resource to help me accomplish many of my personal volunteer goals without it being so much work. In fact, I'm going to buy copies for all my nieces and nephews as they are all charged with doing community service projects and, in my opinion, need to experience that "giving back," among other things, makes you feel good about yourself!

"The Difference a Day Makes" is a terrific book. Karen has done a great job in communicating the importance of giving back every day. There were several new ways to give that I learned through reading this book. It is easy to read, understand and implement in your daily life. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to make a difference (and that should be everyone).

I recently received this wonderful book as a gift, and all I can say is how incredibly amazing it is! While I have always thought of myself as a "nice" person and have donated money to charities, this book made me realize that there are so many more ways to actually make a difference. Through this little book, I have already learned of many easy and different ways to help make the world a better place. I thank the author for bringing something so obvious to the attention of the world!

Finally, a book full of ideas that makes it easy for anyone to help make the world a better place--and not have to spend a lot of time or money to do so. I can open the book to any page and find something that I can do with a click of my mouse, a phone call or just by paying closer attention, that will help someone or something. And that makes me feel great! I gave my sister this book as a gift during the holidays and she sat right down and started to read it even before she opened any other gift...its that good!
