The New York Times bestseller from the founders of WE Charity—a human rights organization that has lifted over 1 million people from poverty globally—Me to We is an uplifting and actionable guide for personal and social change and a call to action to helping others, featuring a new introduction by Academy Award­–winning actress and activist Natalie Portman.
Me to We is an approach to life that leads us to recognize what is truly valuable, make different decisions about the way we want to live, and redefine the goals we set for ourselves and the legacy we want to leave. Both a manifesto and a manual, Me to We includes tales to inspire, studies and statistics to persuade, and practical advice to motivate and guide. Weaving together dynamic lessons and stories from the world's top contributors to human rights and social involvement, the Kielburger brothers show us that the best way to grow and develop as human beings is by helping others.

Their philosophy, along with cutting-edge research on the nature of personal and social change, embraces the idea that we can all build a better life—and an ideal world—through reaching out to others. By redirecting our energies and focusing from "me" to the "we" of our communities, each individual can make an impact on our nation, and our world as a whole. Supporters such as Oprah Winfrey, Richard Gere, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Dr. Jane Goodall also share their original stories that inspire us to believe that a better world can exist for all of us. The Kielburgers teach us how to go about living our lives as socially conscious and responsible people, engaging in daily acts of kindness, building meaningful relationships through community, and focusing on the impact of "we" decision making.

Both modern in its fresh way of looking at the world and traditional in its return to the simplest, purest, and most basic impulse of humanity to reach out and help each other, this philosophy represents a dynamic shift in focus, and a new definition of success, happiness, and community.

      While this audiobook's glowing optimism may not sway listeners, the authors make a convincing case for making the world better. Tracing their history of social activism and their development of the "me to we" philosophy, the brothers address issues large (ending child labor) and small (buying recycled products) to help listeners discover their own potential for social change. The main narrator, Robert Ramirez, projects the vibrant energy necessary for such a book. His enthusiasm sounds genuine. The additional readers bring life to writings by other people who have influenced the authors. While these others read their pieces well, they seem an unnecessary extra. L.E.
