Heartwarming and Inspiring

Three Cups of Tea is the story of how one man can make a difference, and should be a lesson for all of us to never give up thinking that we can make a difference. This is an excellent story about an extraordinary individual and an incredible village most of us have never heard of before. This is a must read for any outdoor enthusiast, humanitarian, and just about anyone who genuinely cares about the world and all those living in it.
For a great book of philosophy I recommend Understanding: Train of Thought.

showed me the way to empower women
|
Being born and brought up in Pakistan, this book touched the very cord of my heart. I had always wanted to do something to empower women in my birth country Pakistan and had understood that education is the key to all malaise. I had recently come up with a plan and intended to pursue it. It is no less than a miracle, therefore, for me to have this book "Three Cups of Tea" by accident in my hand as if to prepare me how to proceed with my plan.
Being a women it is harder for me to pursue than for Mr. Mortenson, despite i being a Pakistani. But he has shown be the way and that how one person with strong desire and determination can, not only climb mountains but can move them too. I salute him and his efforts.

Massive Construction
|

An absolute must-read. A massive construction tool for working with ignorance and generalized muslimophobia. Please read and share... The gentle way in which it's written makes it a great combination of an easy read and a harsh reminder of the power of the choices we make. Individually

After reading this book, I felt like I had to tell everyone about it! This is an incredible story that will make you want to take action and make the world a better place. Greg Mortenson deserves to be recognized so that the war on terrorism can be fought peacefully-by teachers armed with pencils and books!

One person can really make a difference

As someone who grew up in Middle East I could really connect to the story of this great book. The message of the book is clear: the world would be a better place if we properly educate our children. The book tries to make this point by telling the story of children and people in Pakistan and Afghanistan. But what is more important to me is that it tries to educate people all around the world in another sense: that people, no matter where they are, deserve to be treated with respect. Lies that spread around by politicians and labels they stick to a country or people of a country reflects only an unjust image of that country to the world. The truth must be heard from ordinary people like Greg Mortenson who tell the story with no political ties or motivation. If the world sees itself the way Greg has seen Pakistan and Afghanistan it will truly be a better place.
