Paul Rogat Loeb is the author of _Soul Of a Citizen: Living With Conviction In Challenging Times_. With over 165,000 copies in print through updated editions, _Soul_ has become a classic handbook for budding social activists, veteran organizers, and anyone who wants to make a difference—large or small. An antidote to powerlessness and despair, it has inspired thousands of citizens to make their voices heard and actions count—and then stay involved for the long haul. _Soul_ explores what leads some people to get involved in larger community issues while others feel overwhelmed or uncertain; what it takes to maintain commitment for the long haul; and how community involvement and citizen activism can give back a powerful sense of connection and purpose. It speaks particularly to how to keep engaged despite dashed hopes and disillusionment. Click here for _Soul_'s description, sample sections, and wonderful reviews, as well as information on classroomuse .
Loeb's global anthology of political hope, _The Impossible Will Take a Little While: Perseverance and Hope in Troubled Times_, has its own wholly updated edition released with over 120,000 copies in print, _The Impossible_ creates a conversation among some of the most visionary and eloquent voices of our time: Think Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou, Bill Moyers, Arundhati Roy, Tony Kushner, Bill McKibben, Paul Hawken, Pablo Neruda and Vaclav Havel. Alice Walker, Mary Pipher, Jonathan Kozol, Diane Ackerman, and Marian Wright Edelman. Cornel West, Terry Tempest Williams, Dan Savage, Desmond Tutu, and Howard Zinn. These essays, poems, and stories, along with Loeb's extended introductions, teach us how to keep on working for a more humane world, replenish the wellsprings of our commitment, and continue no matter how hard it sometimes seems. Loeb has included pieces that explore the historical, political, ecological and spiritual frameworks that help us to persist— with concrete examples of how people have faced despair and overcome it. They examine what it was like to confront South African apartheid, the Egyptian and Eastern European dictatorships, Mississippi's entrenched segregation, the corporations driving global climate change, or the Robber Barons of 100 years ago. The stories don't sugarcoat the obstacles. But they inspire hope by showing what keeps us keeping on--even when the odds seem overwhelming. They replenish the wellsprings of our commitment. _The Impossible_ is a BookSense independent bookstores bestseller and, like_ Soul_, won the Nautilus Award for the best social change book of its year.

In 2008 Paul founded the Campus Election Engagement Project , (CEEP), a national nonpartisan project that helps America's colleges and universities motivate their 20 million students to register, volunteer in campaigns, educate themselves, and turn out at the polls. CEEP focuses on how administrators, faculty, staff, and student leaders can help engage students. CEEP worked with over 600 campuses enrolling 6.4 million students in 2020 and is now engaging students for 2021-2022, while Loeb phases out of running the project to return to writing.
