Abstract:
"A little book about big change. We all want the same things. We want to live a life of purpose and meaning. We want to leave a legacy for our children and grandchildren. We want to leave the world a better place. And yet we spend so much time wringing our hands over what's wrong and not nearly enough time fixing those things within our control. John Kasich has walked the corridors of power both in politics, as a former leader of Congress, governor of Ohio and presidential candidate, and in the private sector, as an in-demand public speaker, a best-selling author and a strategic advisor to businesses and large nonprofits. Yet he's seen that the most powerful movements have started from the bottom up. Rather than waiting on Washington, the solutions happen once we become leaders in our own lives and communities. The strength and resilience of our nation lies in each of us. That's what this book is about. [Here], Kasich shares the ten little ways we each can bring about big change. Taken together, they chart a path for each to follow as we look to live a life bigger than ourselves. Taken one by one, they can help to lift us from a place of outrage or complacency or helplessness and move us closer to our shared American dream."--Dust jacket.
