With so many social challenges facing our world, trying to effect
change feels daunting. The problems are complex, the politics
murky, and the players innumerable. Yet, every day there are
regular heroes making a significant impact on our most intractable
social issues. "Can't Not Do" is a catchphrase for the urge that
captures the heart of effective social change agents--explaining,
in their own words, their passion and drive: "I can't not do this."
"It's not that I can do this, it's that I can't not." "I could not
imagine not doing something about this issue." The surprising truth
from the trenches is: we already have numerous proven solutions for
our many social challenges; what our world needs most, and what
most changes our children's future, are more people prepared and
committed to act on their social impulses for the long haul.
Innovation helps. Money helps, too. But greater numbers of
committed people help the most. If you feel an internal, persistent
call to do more for the world, Can't Not Do will help you to bridge
the gap between "wanting to do" and "doing"--to access the drive of
an effective change agent, to break through self-imposed barriers,
to learn key principles for success, and to start seeing yourself
acting as a change agent. There is no "secret sauce" someone is
born with and no special club needed to be successful at social
change. Rather, successful change agents share some fundamental
orientations to the world and to their committed cause and, over
time, learn certain lessons that help them become more effective.
These lessons are reflected in Can't Not Do in seven seemingly
simple questions that provide guideposts and unlock the reader's
potential to make a difference for a social cause they care about.
This isn't a self-help book. It's an inspiring narrative
intertwined with a "street-readiness" dialogue, between the author
and you, between you and your inner aspirations. These are
authentic success stories, vital questions, and unconventional
answers that can guide and inspire you to realize your greatest
potential.
