From Apathy to Activism: I cannot say enough positive about the thoroughness, clarity and actionable nature of this book. I have searched for some time for a guide of this type. I have not found anything else that provides an understanding of the psychology of an individual’s or an advocate’s journey from apathy to activism. But that is just the start. What follows is a clear and concise guide for the aspiring advocate on the journey from novice to powerful effectiveness and to using the platforms and avenues through which to pursue their goal. I cannot even imagine a better guide to developing a plan and its execution for making a difference in your community and your world.
