Praise for A Path Appears

"Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn show you, through many amazing vignettes matched with serious evidence, that you can make a difference.... Read this book. Seize one of the many opportunities it lists, and change lives for the better, including your own." --The New York Times Book Review

"A Path Appears is an exhaustive though not exhausting profile of giving, with surprising guidance--indeed, coaching--on how to be an effective giver.... Upon finishing the book, readers are likely to ... find themselves willing to do something in the world, unconcerned by questions of scale, but instead, to simply become more engaged, and in that, alive." --The Boston Globe
