Why read it?

1 author picked Awearness as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This has always been one of my favorite books. It’s more of a guide and it’s one of the best ways I have ever seen anyone lay out specific ways that people can get involved with specific examples and organizations.

From Kat's list on how to change the world.
