Thank you, Rishad, for an inspiring overview of this great book about a very important topic. I think feeling useful, valued & hopeful helps people, regardless of their social status, to live with more dignity. Creating opportunities at school, work, etc., for people, especially young ones, to find purpose to be useful could help promote a greater sense of compassion & dignity in the world.

Thank you, Rishad. Great Sunday morning inspiration. And thanks, Mark, for doing the homework. Hadn’t planned to buy but can’t beat the price. It will be sitting on my coffee table next to The Americans (photo book from the 50s).

Thank you for this. I was amazed that the hardcover version of this book is just $13.29 on Amazon. Somehow that price is reflective of the subject matter. If this was a story/picture book about American presidents, it would probably be a "coffee table" book for those of us in the front row and the price for the hardcover would be $79. Clearly this is a book that the front row needs to read but how many of us will proudly place this book on our coffee tables? I hope I will.
