President Clinton has just released a book called “GIVING: How Each of Us Can Change the World”. I have not read the book but look forward to it. His last book “My Life” was quite extraordinary.
Clinton has had an exceptional post-Presidential career.
From his work raising money alongside President Bush (the elder) for Katrina relief to the work of his Clinton Foundation, he has shown that there is, in fact, life after the presidency. In “GIVING” Clinton he tells us that everyone, regardless of circumstance, has the ability to change the world through the simple act of giving. I’m glad Clinton “gets” The Social Age, though I’m bummed that he’s never told me so personally. Each one of us CAN make a difference. It comes back to two of the basic tenants of The Social Age: awareness and curiosity. As I said in my post on Curiosity, God & The Social Age, “In order to be aware of the world around you, and make change in the world around you, you have to be curious and care what makes the world around you tick”. I encourage each of you to become aware, get curious and practice GIVING. Regardless of your means, you can make a difference.
