About this title

About the Author

"I wanted to change the world - but I found that the only thing one can besure of changing is oneself." -Aldous Huxley I like to quote the statement above when people ask mewhat inspired me to write this book. I was tired of the negativity andpessimism in my life as well as in the world at large. I noticed people weremean, impatient, and intolerant. Violence, greed and selfishness seemed to beprevalent everywhere I looked, leading me to ask, "Why can't we show morekindness and be more giving, trusting, grateful, and understanding? Why dopeople (myself included) have to be selfish and negative?"I woke up to the fact that in order for this world tochange, I must be the one to change. Of course, saying I would stop thinkingand acting negatively is much easier said than done. But goodness, in all ofits facets and dimensions, brings about such powerfully positive, productiveresults that I simply had to try my hardest to change for the better - you onlyget what you give.
