Be the Light: A Blueprint for a Happy and Successful Life

These are short little encouraging stories... each just a couple pages long. I compare it to a way more "grown up, more sophisticated" version of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books.

If you are tired of the daily negative headlines in the daily newspaper and daily media news, Bill Halamandaris's book offers the reader inspirational and heart tugging portraits of people who give of themselves to help others in their community. These people should be in the headlines everyday to show all of us that there are many special people in this world who put others ahead of themselves in their everyday life. Anyone who reads about them will be moved and inspired.

A very unlifting and responsive book. Bill Halamandaris does a great job of showing the best in people. He gets to the heart of what motivates us to do "acts of kindness." Good analysis on the who, what, and where of our better side of human nature....

This book strikes me as a reliable guide to happiness. It is understandable, applicable, and an antidote to the counterproductive 'me' philosophy ­ Hugh Downs, ABC News.Be the Light is a remarkable little book with a big message!
