Community book signing event invites San Diegans to explore how compassion can create meaningful change in themselves, their relationships, workplaces, and communities
SAN DIEGO - Californer -- SAN DIEGO, CA — What if creating a more compassionate world started with one person, one moment, and one choice?
That question is at the heart of It Starts With Compassion: Meaningful Change Begins Within, the Amazon Best Selling book by San Diego author, speaker, executive and organizational development coach, and Founder of Start With Compassion®, Amy Quesenberry.
On Tuesday, August 4, 2026, from 5:00–8:00 PM, Quesenberry will celebrate the official launch of the printed book and companion workbook with a community book signing celebration at AleSmith Brewing Company in San Diego.
The event brings together readers, business leaders, community members, friends, and supporters to celebrate a message that extends far beyond the pages of a book — compassion as a catalyst for personal growth, stronger relationships, healthier workplaces, and a more connected world.
"My hope is that this book reminds people that meaningful change does not require a title, position, or perfect circumstances," said Quesenberry. "It begins with how we choose to show up for ourselves and others in everyday moments. Every interaction is an opportunity to create a positive impact."
