'Michael Norton is a one-man "ideas factory" whose new book suggests some wacky ways in which, with a little bit of effort, people really can change the world for the better.

His handbook makes it easy.' Roy Greenslade, Telegraph
Product Description
You want to change the world? Of course you do. But where do you begin? 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. Some are intriguing, many are unusual, a few involve fundraising, almost all can be planned or done from your home or computer, most will be fun, all are achievable. They include: support trade justice: buy three footballs; avoid landfills by freecycling; create a lifeline for remote African villages with a wind-up radio; sow the seeds of a green revolution: guerrilla gardening; organise a fundraising event: speed dating for safer childbirth; get out of debt: join the Church of Stop Shopping; fight child slavery with fairtrade chocolate; and influence the world's media: become a blogger. This is the book to get you started...one day at a time.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Inspiring and enormously motivating,
By
This review is from: 365 WAYS TO CHANGE THE WORLD (Paperback)
As the title suggests, there is an idea for each day of the year on how we can make a difference to the wider world, smaller commmunities we live in or just our own lives. The ideas vary greatly and are catergorised by themes, such as "culture and creativity", "discrimination", "environment" or "health". I have often found myself amazed at the ideas and information offered, yet the vast majority feel very achieveable... such as be a helpline volunteer, hold a street party or become a virtual volunteer. There is no intimidating amount of text to read, either. A fantastic resource.

a 'desk-side' diary,
By
This review is from: 365 WAYS TO CHANGE THE WORLD (Paperback)
Fun and informative and makes the desk-driven day a little more exciting. Much better than one of those diaries with famous quotations (though I love those too). This is more practical. And if you don't believe in the cause for a particular day - if you share with colleagues ... who knows who will have a passion for the 'revolution of the day'! Amusing, a talking point and bound to get you out of mundane thoughts ... every office desk should have a copy I say. This book can stimulate some amazing conversations and no doubt some truly revolutionary thought and actions.
Get a copy! It's imperative for your desk sanity!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Every day in every way I get a little better!,
This review is from: 365 WAYS TO CHANGE THE WORLD (Paperback)
In a world where so many books challenge you to do the almost impossible, here's one that makes changing the world fun. Norton clearly has a deep knowledge of the subject and has researched widely. THe product of his labours is a stunningly simple book packed with interesting things we can all do to play our part.
This is not a book for a bumbling aspirational agent of change - it's a book that can make us all better people; happier people and better connected people. Don't hesitiate - buy it - read a little every day and be amazed by what you find yourself doing!
