This I Believe
by Jay Allison & Dan Gediman
A great motivational read in This I Believe by Jay Allison and Dan Gediman. The authors found a copy of a book written in
the 1950s with the same name, and, after investigating, they learned it was a
weekly radio segment in which well-known citizens were interviewed (politicians,
celebrities, authors, scientists, etc.) about what they believed. Some ‘regular citizens’ were upset that they
were not included and asked if they could submit their own beliefs – and they were
allowed to do so. The show went off the
air a few years later. This 2006 re-make
of the original captures stories from the 1950s show AND those submitted by
regular citizens through a website (which is still live), which asks “What is
it you believe in?” Take a look: https://thisibelieve.org/. Pretty remarkable things that people believe in and
commit to doing. A good pick-me-up in
this era of the ‘haters’…. Lots of good 2-3 page stories.
