The Social Cause Diet:
Find A Service That Feeds Your Soul

By Gail Perry Johnston

Volunteering is good for your health! Adding a few volunteer activities to your schedule can lower your heart rate, lengthen your lifespan, and possibly even help you lose weight!* But where do you begin? What causes should you support? What would you be good at doing?

Here is a collection of personal stories by people who are enjoying the rich benefits of helping others. Coupled with the author’s reflections on what makes life truly satisfying, this book overflows with ideas and inspiration on how to give of yourself for the greater good—and for your own health.

So give the Social Cause Diet a try. There is no reason to be skeptical of it. It is not a passing fad. It could be challenging, but the blessings are worth it. This book testifies to that fact. And unlike diets that leave you hungry, this one will fill you up.

“Now is the time for this book! If you are unemployed or stressed by the economic conditions of your life, here are stories of what people have done to find tremendous fulfillment.”
ELIZABETH STOOKEY SUNDE, Executive Dir., Public Domain Foundation

"Reading The Social Cause Diet is like eating a box of chocolates. Every story is different, but equally rich and satisfying.”
LOUANNE KLEIN, Owner, Distance Learning Consulting

"The Social Cause Diet is like Chicken Soup for The Soul, but without so much broth, because the stories are about making a difference, not just about feeling good."
DOUG STEVENS, Founder of The Renewal Project

"The stories are short and uplifting and well-written. I kept thinking I'd read just one more story and the next thing I knew I'd read half the book. The book's message: We can all make a difference in our world and be healthier for it."
JAMES E. OTT, Host for TV30

"Gail Perry Johnston's THE SOCIAL CAUSE DIET is a 'feel good' book. Johnston's stories and those from the contributing authors are rich with inspiration, reminding me of my childhood's instincts to be helpful and kind. 'Doing' feels good! Reading this book makes me feel good too."
