Setup
We all want to make the world a better place, but with busy, demanding lives, most of us struggle with the where, when, and how. And in a world awash in need, it’s easy to give in to anger and frustration, to let cynicism consume our natural optimism and hunger to make a difference. Explore how to move beyond powerlessness, putting your strengths, resources, and beliefs to work to make change in the lives of others and create meaning and fulfillment in your own. Stick around after the event for a book signing with Jennifer Krause and Jordan Kassalow.
