You can "Do It Anyway"!
Kent Keith's new book is powerful in its simplicity, and universal in its message.
'Do It Anyway' is both the book's theme and it's call to action. Using his 10 Paradoxical Commandments, the author shows how we really can make a difference in this crazy world that we all share. In spite of everything, we should (indeed, we must) do the right thing - Anyway.
If we all could just live by these wise principles, the world really would be a better place.
The book is full of wisdom and insight. I learnt a great deal, and I know that you will too. (I think that it would make a great Thanksgiving gift.)
Many books claim to "change your life" - this one undoubtedly will. With this book, Kent gives us the inspiration, and the tools, to make a real difference. The rest is up to us.

From the author of "Do It Anyway"
As I have traveled and talked with people about the Paradoxical Commandments, I have been struck by the fact that almost everyone agrees that they should live "the paradoxical life." The question is: How do you do it? This book is my answer. I wrote it to give people the examples, the tools, and the encouragement to live the paradoxical life and find personal meaning and deep happiness, no matter who they are, and no matter what their past or present conditions may be.
The book includes 40 stories from people I know personally who live the Paradoxical Commandments each day. They include a school teacher, a housing developer, a retired Navy captain, a college president, a YMCA leader, a jeweler, an occupational therapist, the CEO of a non-profit organization, a businessman, a college professor, a pineapple plantation worker, an Army sergeant, a pastor, a nurse, and a financial adviser. By quietly living the Paradoxical Commandments, they find personal meaning and deep happiness, even when times are tough. I hope that after reading their stories, you will decide that you, too, can DO IT ANYWAY!

Don't stop doing the right thing!
Feeling frustrated or beat up doesn't mean you should stop doing the right thing. "The Paradoxical Commandments" brought my frustration into words, and let me know I was not alone. "Do It Anyway" gives real examples of what others have experienced and how they came through. It challenged by life, and helped put me in a much stronger place. You can make a difference doing the right thing. Even when no one is looking, Do It Anyway! Similar Products
