If there's one common quality that brings together the hundreds of NAAAP leaders across the world, it's our common belief in the power of selflessness.
Join us in reading NAAAP's nationwide book club pick in April, which is when we also observe National Volunteer Month, where we will be discussing Enough About Me: The Unexpected Power of Selflessness by Richard Lui, a NAAAP100 award winner in 2012.
There is no fee for this event, but we'd like you to HELP RICHARD LUI get on the national bestsellers list by ordering this book by March 26! Order at richardlui.com. Every pre-order comes with a complimentary ticket to watch Sky Blossom, an inspiring Academy Award® qualifying documentary on today’s students taking care of family with disabilities across America. All of the author’s net proceeds will be donated to charitable causes promoting selflessness.
Synopsis: Seven years ago, Richard Lui walked into his boss’ office at MSNBC / NBC News HQ, prepared to give up his dream news anchor job. Having just learned of his dad’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, he wanted to be there for him. So Richard made the rare ask of being on TV less, and joined 53 million Americans as a family caregiver.
It was in that decision that Richard discovered the unexpected power of selflessness and found the inspiration for his new book, ENOUGH ABOUT ME, The Unexpected Power of Selflessness.
The book mixes personal stories with research and tips on how and why living selflessly can bring joy despite difficulty. It also contrasts findings from Richard’s recent reporting with behind-the-scenes stories of heroes who rose above to be helpful, self-sacrificing and generous in the face of tragedy and loss, showing us all how small acts and choices can put a stop to our Selfish Pandemic.
