Publisher Description

For everyone who has ever yearned for a better life and a better world, Craig and Marc Kielburger share a blueprint for personal and social change; with stories drawn from over a decade of their experience as international change-makers, the Kielburgers reveal that a more fulfilling path is ours for the taking when we find the courage to reach out.

Me to We is an approach to life that leads us to recognize what is truly valuable, make new decisions about the way we want to live, and redefine the goals we set for ourselves and the legacy we want to leave. Above all, it creates new ways of measuring meaning, happiness, and success in our lives, and makes these elusive goals attainable at last.

After you've absorbed the ideas presented in this book, your life may not end up as you had envisioned. You may not acquire a house on a beach in the Caymans, but you may find your toes grounded in the sand. You may not see an enormous change in your social life, but in your life you may very well see enormous social change. You may not find the person of your dreams, but you will help people young and old go beyond theirs. This book will open your eyes and change the way you look at life. Treat it as an invitation: an invitation to discover the power of the Me to We philosophy and to join the growing community of people around the world who are embracing this way of life.

"The past couple of years I've found myself focused more on "me and mine," with most of my attention and work centered around my own home and family - and with a toddler and a baby, that may be excusable, but it's not how I intend to live or how I want my children to prioritize their involvement with the world. This book was motivational in that it praised the small and simple things we can do for others, given the limitations on time and resources that most of us have. Yes, it's self-helpy, but it's a quick read and there's something here toward which most everyone could relate."

    " No this is not a marriage book. And yes I would recommend it to everyone. Especially if you have grown up in a sheltered world where you like to not think about what happens to those less fortunate than you on the other side of the world. This book honestly opened my eyes and gave me hope that I can make a difference. It really was probably my favorite book I have read this summer. "

    " I felt like this book was very elementary. It had a great message and the authors are very inspiring, but it seemed like it was written for little kids. While the theme was good, I felt like it didn't really add very much to my life in terms of my understanding of the world. "

    " Excellent book for teens and parents and any adult who works with teens. Provides a concrete and positive way for our teens to make a positive difference in the world. It is trly amazing what teens can do right now. There is no need for them to wait until they are adults to do something spectacular. This book is filled with personal stories of teens who have raised buckets of cash, who have helped other teens in need, who have made a difference for child laborers, the list goes on and one. This organization is the real deal and Mark and Craig have a powerful message. "
