"This book is not just for community organizers - it's for anyone who is interested in social, organizational or even personal change."
- Beth J. Rosenberg
"Michael Eichler's book was easy to read, easy to absorb and easy to apply on a day-to-day level in my work and in my relationships. It poses a new method of working to mobilize the community for the purpose of affecting positive social change, and is an extremely valuable read."
- Karen Franz
"If his readers have lost the capacity and the energy to care; if they have lost the ability to believe that good people with sound strategies can still make a difference, then reading Eichler will re-energize them and stimulate their creative juices to go out and become catalysts for social change."
- Matthew Hawkins
