Description of Give A Damn...

​

The goal of Give a Damn is to help people develop a greater awareness of the thoughts and actions that currently and/or eventually lead people to selfish and irresponsible behaviors. It cuts across all industries, all organizations, all nationalities—everyone. My goal is for this book to guide people toward a better mindset. We can make a difference, one person at a time.  When you talk to people about this philosophy and the concepts needed by society to implement change, most everyone agrees. Few would argue against values such as accountability, responsibility, trustworthiness, caring for others, character, and generosity of spirit. However, while most would agree with these values, most peoples’ actions suggest otherwise. Actions always speak louder than words.  This book is focused on enhancing readers’ engagement in Give a Damn principles, with clear justification of why this is so important. My hope is that people understand and embrace the many themes and initiatives that are presented: to act in big and small ways to help others, to be happier and more successful, to fulfill your purpose in life, and to make Give a Damn a big part of what you do no matter what path you take. Together we can push society back in the right direction, one person at a time, until, collectively, we can make a difference. Give a Damn is the ticket to cultural change.
