We are adrift in a dark sea of disillusionment and distrust and we need "human lighthouses" to give us hope and direct us back to the goodness in each other and in our own hearts. Our polarized, divisive culture seems to be without heroes and role models. I loved it.In this stirring follow-up to his memoir, Steve Pemberton gives practical encouragement for how you can be a "human lighthouse" for others and through these inspiring stories will renew your hope for humanity. Love the connectedness of these 10 seemingly disparate stories. There is something noteworthy for everyone to contemplate about themselves and others in their lives past and present. Letting those altruistic tendencies flourish, we will find ways to change the world for ourselves and others regardless of our chosen vocation and path as well as socioeconomic or other measure of success. This book reaffirms that we all may be a hero to someone by being our best selves. Whether trying to save as many lives during 9/11, offering refuge, or something else. In this book, The Lighthouse Effect, the contributions of those like Claire Levin and John Sykes, who were ordinary people with an extraordinary sense of compassion and generosity gives inspiration to just do good. Steve’s life’s journey to date from A Chance In the World set a tone for extraordinary courage and strength as well as the power of faith. You will reflect on the lighthouses in your own life and be reminded that the greatest heroes are alongside us - and within us. With a unique vision for building up individuals and communities and restoring trust, The Lighthouse Effect opens your eyes to those who are quietly heroic. The humble gestures of kindness that change the course of our lives can shift the course for America, too. Through stories of people like John and several others, you will identify how the hardships you have overcome equip you to be a "human lighthouse", inspiring those around you. John gave Steve a safe harbor after Steve escaped an abusive foster home and together they navigated a new path that led to personal and professional success.
