 US (Washington DC)</p>\n<p><em>Do More Good: Inspiring Lessons from Extrao
 rdinary People&nbsp\;</em>by <a href="https://www.neilghosh.org/">Neil Gho
 sh</a> is your guide to turning that desire to do more good into real-worl
 d impact&mdash\;without burnout\, confusion\, or endless scrolling. Neil i
 s a&nbsp\;social impact strategist whose work bridges business\, philanthr
 opy\, and civic leadership. This uplifting and service-oriented book blend
 s memoir\, mentorship\, and leadership insight to answer a vital question:
  How can one person make a meaningful difference in today&rsquo\;s world?&
 nbsp\; His Holiness the Dalai Lama&nbsp\;wrote the foreword for the book.<
 /p>\n<p>Over the next two years\, Mr. Ghosh stated:</p>\n<p style="padding
 -left: 30px\;">"One of my goals for 2026 and 2027 is to travel to as many 
 states as possible to share my two key messages:</p>\n<p style="padding-le
 ft: 30px\;">1. Unity does not require uniformity&mdash\;just a shared comm
 itment to the common good.<br />2. Empathy is not a red-state value or a b
 lue-state value. It&rsquo\;s an American value.</p>\n<p style="padding-lef
 t: 30px\;">Along the way\, I hope to meet and engage with as many people a
 s possible &mdash\; to listen\, learn\, and discover how individuals are d
 oing more good in their own unique ways."</p>\n<h3>You don't want to miss
