In the hurly burly of this busy world

Simple kindness and goodness can get left behind in the rush to be first in line, at the top of the corporate ladder and 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.
