Summary: Changed my life!
Review: I couldn't help but see Danny on tv, in magazines and even on my local radio station once. He really touched my life.I saw Danny lecture @ Amherst a month ago and he truly has a heart of gold. I bought his book and read it all in one night and it REALLY changed my life. We focus so much on material things and wanting lots of fancy stuff, but we forget that items can't bring happiness. I give so much back now because I get so much in return: true joy and happiness. Heaven on Earth is a fantastic book. I can't wait to give it to my friends and family this holiday season and for many years to come. Thank you Danny. You are an angel.

Summary: We make a living by what we get; make a life by what we give
Review: I don't have a lot of free time, but lately I've started to think about how blessed I am and about how I ought to do something for others to give something back. HEAVEN ON EARTH came along at the perfect time. It's really inspiring, and it gave me not only the extra motivation to do something but also the practical information of things I could do without quitting my job and moving to Calcutta. You don't need to be a saint to take Seo's suggestions, but doing them makes you feel like one. Danny Seo, thank you.

Summary: A surprising, extremely helpful book
Review: I picked up Heaven on Earth in the bookstore intrigued by the "15-minute miracles" the author touted in his substitle. I thought, "Really...can we make a difference in the world in just a few minutes?"At the end of each chapter, the author gives 10 concrete ways (I mean, the 800 numbers and website are included) we can help others. The day I got the book, I donated my frequent flier miles to help the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, took some CD's to the neighborhood music store to sell for a local animal rights group, and even got some friends together to plan for an upcoming "anti-graffiti" day.I'm not easily swayed by things...especially a book. But Heaven on Earth is fantastic. I think all of us want to help people and make our world a better place....but really, how? Danny Seo shows us how. Everyone should read this book.

Summary: You can change the world. Danny Seo is an inspiration!
Review: I picked up this book because I am one of those incredibly busy people with a hectic schedule that would still like to make the world a better place. At first I was a little skeptical, can anyone really change the world in only 15 minutes a day? The answer is a resounding yes, and Danny Seo gives us concrete, can do examples at the end of every chapter to get us started. He also profiles those ordinary people who began making a small contribution and have ended up being true heroes. The result is inspiring. However, the true gift of this book is Seo's intuitive honesty. How many times have you read about someone doing something great for humanity and put the book or article down feeling guilty and depressed. "I could never do that..." you think to yourself, or "maybe if I didn't have kids and a full time job...". Seo takes the time to address the fears and concerns that keep us all from starting to give. From "I don't have enough time..." to "I feel like I have nothing to offer..." Seo looks us straight in the eye and gently suggests ways to shatter what he refers to as our "personal glass ceiling". The book is full of ideas and resources that don't overwhelm, but gently nudge us in the right direction. Seo's insightful ideas on how to maximize the benefit to others by being smart and savvy about how we give, is the final jewel of this book. Finally, the super efficient Gen Xer's have taken on how to maximize your giving poetntial rather than your business potential. In the brave new world of trite self-help and pseudo-spiritual guidance books, "Heaven on Earth" stands apart as a kind reminder of what we all know already; we can make a difference in the world, and the world needs us to. Bravo Seo!

Summary: Amazing...very practical
Review: I saw Danny on CBS This Morning sharing ideas from his book Heaven on Earth. I ran out that morning and bought it and was pleasently surprised. Danny's ideas are so simple and easy to do. He tells you where you can, for example, send your cell phones so watchdog groups can use them to call 911. Or where to send sneakers so Nike can recycle them into playground surfacing. This book is changing my community and my life. This holiday season, I'm buying copies for all of my friends and family. With so many hokey self-improvement books out there, Danny is right: To be a better person, you muse do selfless acts. Thank you, Danny!

Summary: A perfect gift for the holidays
Review: I was at the mall the day after Thanksgiving---fighting for a parking space, shoving my way through the stores---when I realized how silly this whole Christmas shopping thing is. SO, I gave up. Instead, I'm giving away this book to everyone on my list (well, except the kids). It's really been a life-changing book for me, and I hope it'll be for other people, too. The reality is, I could buy something for my friends and family, but do they really need more clutter in their life? I don't think so. This book is a great gift to give.

Summary: An inspirational audiobook
Review: My friend gave me this audiobook as a gift after she saw the author on "oprah." I don't normally listen to audiobooks, but on a trip up the coast of California, I popped it in. I never considered myself an activist, but these tapes totally make sense! It so easy to make a difference and it doesn't take a lot of time to do it. I totally recommend these tapes to everyone! And as the author says...when you're done with them, donate the tapes to a local library!
