Doing What's Right: How To Fight For What You Believe--

Very inspirational, uplifting and encouraging. Mr. Smiley really does provide an outline for any one intrested in being an advocator for something they believe in and motivation and encouragement for those that are already advocating but are feeling like giving up. Two thumbs up.

Self-empowerment-the right idea

I love this book. Instead of wild rhetoric, farfetched solutions, and fingerpointing, Brother Smiley not only shares the message of self-empowerment, he gives people a constructive and educational guide on how to do this and improve their lives and condition. Muy bueno senor!

Coalitions and Movements

Tavis writes what should be an inspiring and enlightening book for us all. He has reawakened a consciousness in all people that portrays the fact that we must take a stand for something or we will fall for anything. In every way we must continue to encourage each other to rise, take action and make a difference, which is what advocacy is all about anyway. Tavis gives us the inspiration to do just that. Thanks Tavis for the uplifting words that will bring us out of complacency and into ACTION!

Powerful Reading

Doing what's right is a must have for both liberals and conservatives. Tavis Smiley keeps the reader on his/her toes with his sharp and decisive insights on the world today.
