One Person Can Make a Difference: Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things Jampolsky, Gerald G.

A collection of real stories about real people who decided to act — the lawyer who quit his firm to defend death row inmates, the grandmother who turned her grief into a shelter for the homeless, the teenager who started a food bank in her garage. Gerald Jampolsky, psychiatrist and author of *Love is Letting Go of Fear*, gathers accounts of individuals who saw a problem and refused to look away. These aren't billionaires or politicians — they're teachers, nurses, students, retirees who realized that waiting for someone else to fix things meant nothing would change. The book is less about heroism and more about choice: what happens when ordinary people stop feeling helpless and start moving. If you've ever thought "I'm just one person, what can I do?" — this is your answer. Practical, hopeful, and surprisingly galvanizing.
