Lyle Benjamin
Lyle Benjamin didn’t start out wanting to change the world, he just wanted to repay a debt. When he was a child, he had a difficult family life at home and he started working when he was 11 years old in New York City just to get out of the house. During the course of his work, school, and daily life, Benjamin met people who took an interest in him and showed him kindness. In response to the increasing divisiveness in the world, he created Planned Acts of Kindness and gamefied Karma, where the more you do, the greater your rewards. Lyle Benjamin’s philosophy and methodology are apparent in his book, ONE: The Fight for Survival of the Human Race. He says, "We have One Planet and One People on the planet. We must cooperate to succeed and to survive."
