One of my favorite things to come in the mail is TED book club (WAY better than Oprah’s). Books are sent to TEDsters each quarter or so. But today I had one of the biggest thrills of my life because this time it had MY book in it. You can tell how happy I am (can you believe it Mom?) Special hugs to Tom Rielly who has believed in me since the day we met.

The other book in the mailing was the book What Matters by David Elliot Cohan. It’s a beautiful and breathtaking book that combines photojournalism with incisive writing on nineteen vital topics by subject experts. It’s beautifully designed and will move you with fresh lenses into the environment, wealth, poverty and disease.
