We'd have a better world if everyone were like Danny!

I saw Danny Seo on an old re-run of Leeza during a summer-camp break. (We never watch day time TV) & called my daughter to come listen. We then bought the book & read it together. Reading of this book should be a school project or requirement...it will produce softer, gentler more caring kids & transform them into bright young active citizens. I will send this book to school for her second grade class teacher to have a peak at & hopefully she can do something & perhaps create a "learning-sharing project" for the kids....maybe near Thanksgiving or Earth Day??

If you can cross the street, you can make a difference.

Rarely do you find a book that talks about ACTION instead of PROBLEMS. Danny Seo's "Generation React" provides inspring ideas and practical information on how to change the world around you, whether you are an activist or not. The author shows that everyone can make a difference, no matter how old you are. The amazing truth is, what Danny has done can be and could have been done by anyone else. To quote Danny's description of starting Earth 2000 at age 12, "Sure, we couldn't drive -- heck, we couldn't even cross the street -- but we had the three things every great activit group needs: dedication, enthusiasm, and tenacity." It's simple. Everyone can do it. So read it, be inspired, take action, and make the world a better place.

Incredibly informative and inspiring

This book is for anybody who wants to make a change in their global or local world, not just teens. Though Danny's only 20, he knows more from his time as an activist than most people three times his age. If you are unhappy about anything from a problem with your town or school to the nation's environmental policies, this book gives the nuts and bolts of how you personally can make a change. It's wonderful to see someone who cares and is doing something about it. Danny should be a role model for any concerned citizen of any age - and his book should go on to become THE reference guide for a generation.

You will be surprised!

"Generation React" is definitely one of those books that surprised me. I thought this was another, -duh- books. But, after I read it from cover to cover, it has helped me a lot and have motivated me. As president of an 80 member animal rights club at Brooklyn Technical High School, I highly recommend this book for any experienced or novice activist. You will be surprised!

Generation React by Danny Seo is absolutely the best.

Pick up the paper. Turn on the tv. All you hear about are problems, problems, problems. But with Danny Seo's "Generation React", I've been able to make solutions. This book is phenomenal. It breaks down the stereotype of Generation X and makes activism fun. Plus, it doesn't hurt to have Andrew Shue write the foreword. Buy it! Read it! and REACT
