365 Ways to Change the World

How to make a difference... one day at a time

 

Michael Norton

"He's a one-man 'ideas factory' whose new book suggests some whacky ways in which, with a little bit of effort, people really can change the world for the better." Guardian

"If you want to make a difference then I can do no better than to recommend this book." Daily Telegraph

"By far the most enticing and informative book...I finally stopped being a cynic." Daily Mail

The ultimate answer for anyone who has ever asked "how can I make a difference?", this ingenious handbook shows how the smallest actions can impact on your local community and the wider world. Packed with ideas, and facts from leading campaign organisations, it suggests one action for every day of the year. For a recent interview see: www.loe.org/shows/segments.htm?programID=07-P13-00001&segmentID=5

I hope the book does really well. I can't think of another person who could dream up so many ideas. It is a great antidote to the cynicism of the chattering classes.
