Book
In 2003, Wallace wrote the book Join Me about how he started the movement. A quote on the cover of some editions is "It's not a cult; it's a collective" — because Wallace didn't want to associate Join Me with the negative connotations of the word cult. Nevertheless, as his book's sub-title is, "The true story of a man who started a cult by accident" it would seem he has grudgingly admitted that it has distinct similarities to one.
A short follow-up was later published, titled Random Acts of Kindness: 365 Ways To Make the World A Better Place.

Famous quotes containing the word book:
“A healthy man, with steady employment, as wood-chopping at fifty cents a cord, and a camp in the woods, will not be a good subject for Christianity. The New Testament may be a choice book to him on some, but not on all or most of his days. He will rather go a-fishing in his leisure hours. The Apostles, though they were fishers too, were of the solemn race of sea-fishers, and never trolled for pickerel on inland streams.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it.”
—William Styron (b. 1925)
“In the learned journal, in the influential newspaper, I discern no form; only some irresponsible shadow; oftener some monied corporation, or some dangler, who hopes, in the mask and robes of his paragraph, to pass for somebody. But through every clause and part of speech of the right book I meet the eyes of the most determined men; his force and terror inundate every word: the commas and dashes are alive; so that the writing is athletic and nimble,—can go far and live long.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
