Do One Nice Thing by Debbie Tenzer: Join us for Silicon Valley Moms Group's next Book Club on Tuesday, September 29th
How do we, as parents, make the world a better place? A nicer place? Has it changed since we became parents? Can it really take doing one nice thing? Join us on Tuesday, September 29th as we discuss Do One Nice Thing by Debbie Tenzer for our next book club.
About the book: A few years ago, Debbie Tenzer was feeling overwhelmed by all the
crises in the news. But rather than give in to despair, she thought,
Maybe I can’t solve our big problems, but I know I can do something.
She realized that helping doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive or
time-consuming. You can help simply by doing one nice thing. So that’s
what she vowed to do, one day a week. Not every day–she says she’s not
that nice–but once a week was a promise she could keep.
So she
started a website, DoOneNiceThing.com, and each week she posted an easy
way to help people around town or across the globe. Good news traveled
fast, and now Debbie is the leader of a worldwide kindness movement
with fellow Nice-o-holics in ninety countries. They’ve sent . . .
• cans of food to food banks and schools
• notebooks to soldiers who will give them to Afghan children
• gifts to foster children whose birthdays are overlooked
• and much more
Do One Nice Thing
has many new, easy ideas for small deeds that anyone can do (and
includes explicit information on how exactly to execute the ideas, so
you don’t have to go digging for information or resources). There’s
even a chapter of nice things you can do in minutes without leaving
your desk.
Join Debbie and her army of Nice-o-holics, and give
the world some help–and some hope. Best of all, the more help you give,
the more hopeful you’ll feel. And before you know it, you won’t be able
to stop.
