How Can I Help?
Ram Dass and Paul Gorman approach charitable service as a liberation from the prison of self and separateness, and as a solution to the inarticulate loneliness we feel when we lack a connection to others. The anecdotes are the best part here, and the reader wants more of them. Between peopleÕs stories, the authors narrate simple psychology directed to the helping professions.

ThereÕs one thing IÕve learned in twenty-five years or so of political organizing: People donÕt like to be ÒshouldÓ upon. TheyÕd rather discover than be told.

The basic social institution is the individual human heart. It is the source of the energy from which all social action derives its power and purpose. The more we honor the integrity of that source, the more chance our actions have of reaching and stirring others.
