In a world of chaos its nice to listen to "The Power"
Some parts sound a little far fetched but the over all concept of loving eachother and ourselves
works for me!

This book is written in a very humble way, with the very humble goals of increasing focus, reducing stress, and having a better life (rather than becoming enlightened or otherwise achieving something beyond normal comprehension). It creates a human path to attaining more skill and more peace in your life. It's a fast read that communicates simple messages in a few different contexts to inspire and guide you to actually use the methods it describes.

Buy this book.

As the son of a Marine, I was brought up a certain way - integrity, honor, fairness, helping those who are weak, essentially - do the right thing.

I finally found a book that takes all my beliefs and organizes them into a concise guide to living your life.

This book isn't about conforming; it's about taking the uniqueness of your life and applying all the characteristics that can make you a better human being.

Peter Drucker once said, "A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go but ought to be."
Andy Andersen reminds you throughout his book that investing in other people and making differences in lives other than your own is a key ingredient to living well. Andersen lays out where we need to be.
His examples are simple, but profound. The lessons from his testimony about life are right on point for what is needed in our society today. We need less texting and more visiting. We need less isolation and more neighborhood get togethers.
Andy's message is valuable not only for yourself and your relationships with your immediate family, but to friends, co-workers and acquaintances. His reminders that you get out of life what you put into it and being decent to people are basic fundamental values we know, but sometimes forget. Perform an act of kindness - Andersen's right. You get more out of it than the recipient.
Read his book, you will find yourself nodding, laughing and thinking about making a difference. I highly reccomend it!

How To Be A Better Person is a short, but meaningful book. The author thoughtfully reminds readers of the mental state (e.g. free of anger) and behaviors (e.g. show empathy) that each of us should strive to embody. The short length of the book is actually a benefit, as it allows the reader to consistently review the book in an effort to stay focused on the ultimate goal of improving. I cant say that theres anything groundbreaking or that you haven't heard before, but having everything compiled in one place is a treat for anyone trying to improve themselves.

Last Lecture by Randy Pausch is an inspiring novel that makes you want to be a better person. Its an autobiography of Randy, dad of 3, who is dying from cancer. His novel is a collection of all the lessons hes learned and wishes to pass on to those around him, especially his kids.
  I loved every chapter in this book. Randy had such a positive outlook on life and made me want to live my life better. He accomplished so much in the little time he had, including writing this book. My favorite part was chapter 13, The Man in the Convertible. Despite his illness, Randy still found joy in the little things in life, like riding in his convertible with the top down. One of his coworkers saw him driving and shared what she saw with Randy, and that was him being content and happy in the moment. He said Robbee had come upon me in an unguarded moment. Id like to think she saw me as I am. She certainly saw me as I was that evening...She had given me a window into myself. I was still fully engaged. I still knew life was good. I was doing OK.
  There were very few things I did not enjoy about this book. One of them being that it rarely referenced his actual lecture. As you may or may not know, Randy delivered one final lecture before he passed away. While there is a video of the lecture on YouTube, I still wish it was incorporated into the book more. The book had great content, and I have yet to watch the lecture but im sure he covered similar topics. I just wish the book touched more on his actual lecture and why he chose to talk about what he did.
  Overall, I definitely recommend this book to practically anyone. Randy had a great way of expressing his thoughts and lessons in a way that can make sense to anyone. He teaches invaluable lessons that Im glad I was able to learn. I love what the book stands for and think that many people in this world can benefit from reading it.

This is a gift for a gentleman who is not feeling well, but who has always given to everyone else. He deserves all this and more.

The worst conditions often bring out the best in some people. This is an example of an amazing mother who was an example and instrument for good in the worst of circumstances. A truly inspiring story!

A great read that also provides a great takeaway. Some of us might have a disability but basically we all are good at some things and not so good at others. We all accomplish things in our own way. Everyone  should be treated as the good capable person that they are.

A wonderful biography that is well written and uplifting.  A guide book on how to make the best out of life.  While worth reading on a down day when needing perspective.

Making this book a "required" read is the start of making our World a better place to live.  It teaches empathy, and that with courage and strength one can overcome any situation. More important, is the power of kindness and how far reaching a simple act of kindness goes.
