In the hurly burly of this busy world, simple kindness and goodness
can get left behind in the rush to be first in line, to the top of
the corporate ladder, and to have the most likes. But, what does it
all mean at the end of the day? Isn't being a good person and
making real contributions to the world more important than anything
else? Author Brenda Knight, part of the team who made the world a
better place with "Random Acts of Kindness" as well as a little
more thankful with The Grateful Table, writes "At the end of life,
I feel sure having lots of money, fancy cars, and real estate is
not nearly as important as how much love you gave to the world."
This realization was the inspiration for "Be a Good in the World,"
a book of "good days" filled with ideas for making a
difference
The Beat Generation freed American arts and letters from the
ivy-covered shackles of academia. The names of its primary figures
are familiar as old relatives: Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg,
Gregory Corso, Neal Cassady. But though they may be less known to
us, the women writers, artists, and muses were making history of
their own. This text of biographies and writings chronicle the
creative and rebellious women who broke from tradition and joined
the best minds of their generation.

Tony Burroughs was a young man living in Hawaii, when an older
philosopher sage took him under his wing and became his mentor at
an exotic fruit farm on the big island. Over a period of ten years,
Tony learned how to farm as well as "The Information," a series of
oral lessons, comprising a body of deep teachings about the very
meaning of life, the history of mankind, and how to not just exist
but to evolve and live a meaningful life filled with love, peace
and abundance. A core teaching was in regard to intention-setting
and Tony and two friends started a weekly circle to try it out.
This first humble circle of three people had dramatic and
life-changing effects that have resulted in Tony Burrough's
life-long mission to guide others in the art of manifesting the
best in themselves, their lives, and for the highest good of all.
The tenet of Get What You Want is simple, powerful and profound:
"that which you are reaching toward is also reaching out toward
you." And, for the first time, Tony has gathered many of the key
teachings of "The Information" into one book.
What would happen if you sat down to dinner with the likes of
Alicia Keyes, Jonathan Safran Foer, David Lynch, Morgan Freeman,
Sir Ben Kingsley, Alton Brown, Neil Gaiman, Deepak Chopra and David
Foster Wallace? Fascinating conversation, without doubt, and one of
the things that all these folks have in common is that they
practice gratitude and have a lot to say about it. These thinkers
and luminaries included in "The Grateful Table" make this a
thoroughly modern book of blessings, both heartfelt and deeply
profound. Saying grace is one of our loveliest traditions and one
that has stood the test of time for good reason - it simply feels
wonderful. Whether holding hands and praying to the heavens above
or waxing poetic about the bounty of food, these blessings turn any
group of people into family, connected by the power of gratitude.
Compiled by the editor of and collaborator on the runaway
bestseller "Attitudes of Gratitude, "Brenda Knight has employed the
practice of gratitude for years. "The Grateful Table" is not your
grandmother's book of graces. Filled with fresh voices and
contemporary expressions, this book of blessings will make every
occasion more meaningful.
