Kennedy, then a United States Senator planning to run for President, profiled acts of political heroism by eight United States Senators.[1] Kasich wrote Courage Is Contagious as a United States Representative contemplating running for the Presidency, which he did in the early Republican Party presidential primaries, 2000.[1][2] In contrast with Kennedy's book, Kasich's book describes the lives of ordinary Americans who perform extraordinary feats of public service.[1]Kasich says that he wrote the book after being asked by a conservative think tank to write a book about government budgets, and decided to write a more inspirational book instead.[3] The book highlights the surging popularity of volunteering in charitable and civic improvement activities of all kinds.[4][5] Royalties from the book were donated to fund the work of the men and women who Kasich had profiled.[6] Courage Is Contagious was a New York Times bestseller in November and December 1998.[7][8][9][10]References1. ^1 2 {{cite news|last1=Squitieri|first1=Tom|title=The courage of their convictions 'Quiet heroes' roll up their sleeves and set an example (book review)|publisher=USA Today|date=28 January 1999}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Courage is Contagious}}{{US-poli-book-stub}}2. ^{{cite news|last1=Connolly|first1=Ceci|title=Kasich Launches Exploratory Panel|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/campaigns/wh2000/stories/kasich011499.htm|accessdate=20 January 2016|publisher=Washington Post|date=14 January 1999}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Lowe|first1=Roger|title=Kasich Book Highlights Heroes|publisher=Columbus Dispatch|date=26 October 1998}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Crowley|first1=Elizabeth|title=More Young People Turn Away From Politics And Concentrate Instead on Community Service|publisher=Wall Street Journal|date=16 June 1999}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Harwood|first1=John|title=Rep.
