Product Description

▼▲

In his book presented for publication just weeks before his unexpected death, Paul Simon issues a simple but profound invitation to public service and servant-like living. His own words best describe the focus of this book: "One of the discouragements of public life day after day is to see people who have the potential to contribute so much to building a better society-and they don't do it. They may decline to participate because they do not understand that change is rarely achieved in a single, dramatic action. Change occurs because-little by little-people of good will...act."

Publisher's Description

▼▲

Fifty-two Simple Ways to Make a Difference is a practical andinspiring book for general readers that reminds us that the little things we do count, and offers concrete suggestions for small ways of making a difference. Says the author, "I always run into people who have the 'well-what-could-I-do?' attitude. But small things really do make a difference. The longer I live the more I realize that the small things really are the big things in the long run." This book brings Simon's considerable experience in public service to general readers in a practical and inspiring way.
