Reviews:
“Everybody should read this book, right now! This book is for everyone who has struggled to get their community involved. This book is for everyone who has looked at social projects being carried out elsewhere and wondered ‘why can’t we do something like that here?’
“His book is written in short chapters, with an eye toward group reading and discussion. It’s a quick read; Emmel’s style is breezy and at times humorous…. However, no one should mistake this for lack of depth. Emmel has real insights and real suggestions that should not be ignored by anyone hoping to create change.”
“Taking Action is about promoting prosperity and justice, and, as the author writes, is geared to those ‘who want to leave the world a better place than they found it.'”
