Grateful American: A Journey from Self to Service by Gary Sinise
4.0
How to assign a rating to a memoir like this?
Writing quality? 2 stars--many repetitions of information--reads like he dictated the book in sections and the book was never edited from start to finish.
Memorable stories about individuals in service to our country? 4 stars.
A life purposefully lived? 5 stars.
Effect of the author's actions on the quality of others' lives? 5 stars.
Ability to make tears spring to readers' eyes? 5 stars.
Inspiration to live one's own life more meaningfully? 4 stars.
Likelihood of remembering that I read this book? 5 stars.
I didn't know about Gary Sinise's "other life" of charitable work. He has used his fame to accomplish extraordinary things. While much of Hollywood is busy virtue signaling, Gary has quietly worked for decades to make individual lives tangibly better, his reward being the satisfaction that comes with a life of service and gratitude. Want to change the world and change your own life for the better? You can do it with small acts of kindness.
