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:
“What has influenced my life more than any other single thing has been my stammer. Had I not stammered I would probably ... have gone to Cambridge as my brothers did, perhaps have become a don and every now and then published a dreary book about French literature.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
“Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.
Lying is like alcoholism. You are always recovering.”
—Steven Soderbergh (b. 1963)
“The demonstrations are always early in the morning, at six o’clock. It’s wonderful, because I’m not doing anything at six anyway, so why not demonstrate?... When you’ve written to your president, to your congressman, to your senator and nothing, nothing has come of it, you take to the streets.”
—Erica Bouza, U.S. jewelry designer and social activist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 7, by Studs Terkel (1988)
