For Tibet, With Love: A Beginner's Guide to Changing the World

Ordinary person's humorous quest for global change.

If you're someone who feels the weight of the world's injustices but wonders if a single person can make a ripple, this book will speak to you. Isabel Losada's journey is not just about Tibet; it's a universal story of compassion, activism, and the infectious energy of someone who decided to stand up and do something. It is inspiring, deeply human, and surprisingly lighthearted, which might just move you from thought to action.

Description

Sometimes you just have to do something, don't you? Sometimes an injustice comes along and you think 'No, this cannot be', and rather than just turn off the TV, you know it's time to act. So begins Isabel Losada's extraordinary book in which she explores whether it's possible for an ordinary person to change the world, just a little, and if something so serious can be achieved with joy in one's heart. From visits to Nepal and Tibet, to meetings with the Chinese ambassador and Tibetan awareness-raising groups, Isabel single-handedly hatches a stunning PR coup involving Nelson's Column, a 15 metre banner and a base-jumping parachutist that captured headlines worldwide. And then she meets the Dalai Lama... Warm and funny, moving and thought-provoking, this astonishing book celebrates the fact that we can make a difference.
