Book Description

May 1, 1999
How many times have you wished you could make a difference? How often have you watched the news and wondered how you could help? How many times have you wished you could "do more?" You "can" do more, and make a "big" difference -- in as little as fifteen minutes a day. And Danny Seo shows you how, in his extraordinary "Heaven On Earth."

Danny Seo is the remarkable young entrepreneur of altruism, the twenty-one-year-old recently honored with the 1998 "Oprah's Angel Network(TM) Award." Now he offers inspiration and practical advice for anyone who wants to join him in finding personal fulfillment -- while having fun and meeting wonderful people -- by committing oneself to making a positive difference in the lives of others.

By focusing on activities that we can tackle after work, on weekends, or in just fifteen minutes a day, "Heaven On Earth" is a blueprint that people with various talents and backgrounds can follow to benefit their communities in the greatest way possible. At the heart of Seo's approach are his 10 Rules of Angel Power. Among them are:

One plus one equals three. A pool of talents can add up to an ocean of good.

Double your pleasure, double your funds. The most effective ways of raising money are usually the most creative ways -- and the most fun.

U.B.U. (You Be You). If your instincts tell you that a particular project or idea is wrong for you, go with your gut and search out something more inspiring. Everyone will benefit.

The record of philanthropic achievement that has earned Seo such recognition began when he served as the CEO of Earth 2000 National. At the age of twelve, Seo transformed his neighborhood club into an energized25,000-member corporation, leading dynamic campaigns for the protection of biodiversity and animals.

Danny Seo is an extraordinary young man, but the irony is that just about all of his achievements, taken individually, are within our power to accomplish, too. "Heaven On Earth" is a motivational book that enables us to feel good about ourselves by encouraging us to "do" good for others.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Seo, who has become something of a celebrity because of his creative and innovative ways to perform philanthropy, here presents a number of practical ideas for those of like mind. His creativity and earnestness about his work are remarkable and most apparent in his reading. However, his zeal is not enough, and this recording sounds like a seminar report. As an audio, this one just doesn't quite make it. Public libraries would be better served by acquiring the print edition.

Review

Martin Sheen Heaven On Earth is written with such clarity, convincing exercises, and powerful stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things that few people who read this book will ever again view helping others as a chore, but rather a responsibility and a privilege. -- Review

More About the Author

Okay, here's my "official" bio...

Environmental lifestyle expert Danny Seo calls his eco-friendly way of living Simply Green. Through his bestselling books, his how-to lifestyle lectures, weekly Sirius Satellite Radio program and his upcoming companion TV show, Danny Seo continues to share his creative ideas that has made him America's leading lifestyle authority on modern, eco-friendly living.

Born on Earth Day in 1977, Danny has championed on behalf of the natural biodiversity of our planet from a very young age. On his 12th birthday, he founded the organization Earth 2000 with just a few friends and $23. By his 18th birthday, he transformed the grassroots organization into the country's largest teenage activist charity spearheading worldwide campaigns on behalf of the environment.

Today, Danny, 29, encourages America to live a greener lifestyle. His lifestyle book Conscious Style Home (St. Martin's Press; 2001) chronicles his renovation of his parents' Green Hills, Pennsylvania home. Using easy-to-find eco-friendly materials, the beautifully photographed book received rave reviews in The New York Times, Elle, Food & Wine, Elle Decor, and USA Today, who raved "Say 'environment' to Danny Seo, and it's as if you've punched the word into the search engine Google: Out roars an avalanche of ideas and references that threatens to scramble your brain.'"

His brand new books Simply Green Parties and Simply Green Giving showcases Danny's unique take and approach to stylish green living. Both books feature lush, colorful photography and clear, step-by-step instructions along with Danny's secret tips and how-to information on living the Simply Green way.

As Editor-at-Large of Country Home magazine, Danny pens a monthly column for the magazine and produce feature stories for the magazine's 7.6 million readers. Each month, his "Fresh Thinking" column features clever and easy ideas to recycle anything into gorgeously chic home accessories with quick and easy tips that prove green living can be gorgeous living, too.

Debuting in September 2006, Danny's TV series will debut on the LIME cable channel, the new Steve Case backed network with the tagline, "Healthy Living with a Twist." The show, also titled Simply Green, will feature stylish and eco-friendly tips for the home, all shot on location from Danny's new bungalow style dwelling in Pennsylvania. Danny also hosts a weekly talk show on Sirius Satellite Radio of the same name.

Danny also assists some of Hollywood's biggest celebrities as an eco-stylist. He dresses actors and actresses in environmentally-friendly fashion, consults on the renovation of their homes, and helps them raise money for their eco-charities.

Danny has been named one of "40 Under 40" to watch by Crain's New York Business and in an honor of a lighter note, one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People in the World." He stars in a nationwide TV public service announcement campaign airing on HGTV and TLC encouraging Americans to recycle their old cell phones through a nonprofit program called Call2Recycle. A popular speaker at colleges, corporations and special events, Danny has given hundreds of keynote addresses including the College of William & Mary, and The State of the World Forums and the National Kitchen & Bath Association. In May 2006, he gave the commencement speech to the University of California's Berkeley graduating class.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing...very practical, September 29, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Heaven on Earth (Hardcover)
I saw Danny on CBS This Morning sharing ideas from his book Heaven on Earth. I ran out that morning and bought it and was pleasently surprised.

Danny's ideas are so simple and easy to do. He tells you where you can, for example, send your cell phones so watchdog groups can use them to call 911. Or where to send sneakers so Nike can recycle them into playground surfacing.

This book is changing my community and my life. This holiday season, I'm buying copies for all of my friends and family. With so many hokey self-improvement books out there, Danny is right: To be a better person, you muse do selfless acts.

Thank you, Danny!

5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting book---great read!, June 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Heaven on Earth (Hardcover)
Walking through the bookstores last weekend, I came across this book in the "self improvement" section. I thought it was odd, sitting between books on "satisfying your lover" and "finding your color code," since it was book on creating miracles.

Danny's book is incredibly practical and innovative at the same time. He understands that we're all busy and do not have time to "devote endless hours" to changing the world. I like his chutzpah.

I've got a few minutes each day (for god's sake, if I have time to praise Heaven on Earth, then I have time to be selfless). His 100 ideas are my fav.---he gives all the info you need to make a difference in just minutes a day.

I'm glad I stumbled across this book and have bought copies for my parents and my best friend. It's a great, great, great, great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars We make a living by what we get; make a life by what we give, August 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Heaven on Earth (Hardcover)
I don't have a lot of free time, but lately I've started to think about how blessed I am and about how I ought to do something for others to give something back. HEAVEN ON EARTH came along at the perfect time. It's really inspiring, and it gave me not only the extra motivation to do something but also the practical information of things I could do without quitting my job and moving to Calcutta. You don't need to be a saint to take Seo's suggestions, but doing them makes you feel like one.

Danny Seo, thank you.
