Doing Good: Passion and Commitment for Helping Others

by Jeffrey A. Kottler

This text is intended to inspire people to make a difference in their work. Told through the experiences of those who "do good" as a vocation, it reflects the realities of helping others through those who are successful and flourishing in their work. Focused on helping beginners to feel good about their commitment to service, it is thus appropriate as a text in both under-graduate and graduate courses in counselling, human services, social work, education, and similar survey courses. It is also of use to both professionals and those involved in volunteer helping efforts.

this book was okay, i found the no nonsense approach refreshing and there was a lot of very helpful advice in here. i sometimes found it sappy/cheesy, but given the subject matter - that makes sense.
