A Beginner’s Guide To Changing The World

Tags: , ,


Have you ever really wanted to do something, to change the world, but felt totally insignificant? Ever thought that just one person couldn’t make a difference?

A Beginner’s Guide To Changing The World“A Beginner’s Guide To Changing The World” (formerly called “For Tibet, With Love”) is about just that.

[Published by Harper One: ISBN 0060834528]

It describes the incredible journey of Isabel Losada as she discovers the truth about what is going on in Tibet, since the Chinese occupation 59 years ago. She put all her energies behind a campaign to raise global awareness of the situation and achieved mass media coverage, with a combination of inspired publicity stunts and dogged, patient determination. At the same time, she shares with us the emotional and spiritual journey, which led her to gain an audience with the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala.

It is touching, enlightening and amusing. I found myself literally rationing it, to make the experience of reading it last for as long as possible.

If you want to find out about the human rights issues in Tibet, then this book is a must-read because Isabel explores all angles – covering both sides of every argument, allowing you to come to your own conclusions.

The thing is that this book didn’t just inform me about the Tibet situation, it also helped me look inside myself to uncover the blocks that were holding me back from speaking my truth and believing that I could make a difference.

So if you’ve got a cause that’s close to your heart and you want someone to help inspire you to believe that you really can make a difference, I invite you to read “A Beginner’s Guide To Changing The World” and do something about it today!

Love,
