Rosemary Hawley, MBE, says:
“It covers such a huge range of interest and yet of course has complete consistency.
It is not necessary to read it straight through, but rather dipping in is stimulating and always thought provoking.
The tips at the end are lovely and simple. It would be easy to be overwhelmed by the enormity of all that is wrong in the world, but you help and encourage by demonstrating that just because we cannot do or change everything, it does not mean we should do nothing.”
Rosemary has a distinguished career of helping others. She has been Chair of Merseyside Regional Health Authority, Chair of Knowsley Primary Care Trust, Director of Blackburne House Centre for Women, committee member of Mersey Common Purpose, Trustee of Community Spirit, High Sheriff of Merseyside, Fellow of Liverpool John Moores University among other appointments. She is also a mum and grandmother.

“Thanks for Tom Butler’s bombshell of a book.
I want immediately to comment on its huge impact – ringing bells on every page and echoing in some similar, some valuably different metaphors, this urgent search for sanity and a profound sense of the Common Good, fading so fast from our self-centred culture. Phew!
It’s disturbed my day in a wonderful way.”
