Book Reviews of Me to We: Finding Meaning in a Material World

Book Review: a very humbling book
Summary: 5 Stars

This is my first ever book review submission. The tagline of this book is what initially caught my interest, "Finding Meaning in a Material World." It's the best book I've read since "The Road Less Traveled." It was a real page turner for me and I found myself being humbled by the different experiences documented in this book as well as how society has shaped our values. From time to time it almost brought me to tears as well as feelings of anger and disappointment towards the way our "civilized" society continues to operate, for the self. I too am guilty of this and admit I find it difficult to do a total 180 of the way I am now, just as the book says it would be for some. I feel I'm making progress on a microscopic scale and hope to continue to move onto bigger and more measurable actions where I'll feel I'm actually making positive contributions towards making the world a better place to live in for the less fortunate.

Summary of Me to We: Finding Meaning in a Material World

Imagine waking up every morning believing that your actions can make a significant change in the world.

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 that has the power to transform lives one act at a time. Through inspirational contributions from people from all walks of life and moving stories drawn from more than 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 their's. 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.
