LaMotte, David. You Are Changing the World: Whether You Like It or Not. Chalice Press, 2023. (361.2 LaMotte)
David LaMotte challenges all of us to consider how the small, organized efforts in which we participate can make a huge difference. In his typical manner of engaging storytelling, the well-known author, speaker, and musician from Black Mountain, NC, relies upon personal experience and well-known historical events (seen in a new light) to break down common misconceptions about the kind of person it takes to change the world. The answer might surprise readers, especially those who believe solving the world’s problems requires waiting for a hero to show up on the scene. In Lamotte’s eyes, it takes a movement, not a hero, to bring about this change. Better yet, Lamotte believes, that movement can begin with something as simple as meeting a friend for coffee or posting a “Welcome” sign on the front door.
