Book Description:

Most of us are content to see ourselves as ordinary people - unique in ways, talented in others, but still among the ranks of ordinary mortals. The author probes our contented state by asking important questions: How should "ordinary" people respond when others need our help, whether the situation is a crisis, or something less?
