If you have ever listened to the podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show, you know that he likes to ask his guests a series of the same questions at the end of each show. I finally know the answer to one of those questions:
What is the book you have given most as a gift?
I will be giving this book to everyone I know from now on. Consider this me giving it to you…

The other question I love to hear the answers to is: If you could put anything on a billboard for millions of people to see, what would it be?
My answer is one of my favorite quotes from Annie Dillard:
“How you live your days is how you live your life.”
It was in the first few pages that John Francis really captured me, and held my respect and excitement until the end of the book. (I’m still excited.)

Here are a few more fabulous excerpts:

Your actions do matter. Your actions have a ripple effect. Your actions are fractals in the world (see adrienne maree brown’s book Emergent Strategy for more on this line of thinking.)
