      ABOUT THIS BOOK

      Tony has teamed up with Feeding America, the nation’s largest network of food banks, to form the 1 Billion Meals Challenge, which aims to provide one hundred million meals per year to those in need through 2025.

      THANK YOU!

      Because of your interest in improving your own life, you have already contributed to improving other people’s lives.

      I wrote this book years ago in a very simple, down-home style as a part of our foundation’s annual Thanksgiving Basket Brigade. As you’ll read in the next few pages, this holiday means a lot to me: it’s not only a national tradition, but a personal one for me, too. It’s a time when, more than ever, a sense of gratitude for the blessings in my life overflows into a desire to reach out to others. So this book is exactly what it’s called: a note from a friend, to be read at any time of the year by anyone who just needs or wants a bit of inspiration from someone who cares. It offers some encouragement to those who need a reminder of life’s basic truths and the stimulation of a few good ideas about how to deal with whatever challenges face them.

      Ironically, the simplicity of this little book has always appealed as much to the thousands of volunteers who hand it out as to the recipients. Many have wanted this book for themselves as a reminder of the fundamentals it takes to truly succeed in creating and enjoying a quality life. What’s more, a bit of informal research has shown me that many people never read my more comprehensive works, Unlimited Power and Awaken the Giant Within, because they’re intimidated by the size of the books (more than 400 pages each).

      As a result, I’ve decided to update and republish Notes from a Friend for the general public. If you’re already a student of my work, there may be little new here. Yet there seems to be a special effect on those who read it: they gain a new perspective as they review the material in this easy-to-read, accessible style. If you’re new to my work, I hope you’ll find that this is a fun introduction, and I encourage you to look into the resources from which Notes from a Friend is drawn.

      We tend to forget that all of us come up against tough times, times when we feel as though events and circumstances have more control over our lives than we do. Sometimes we just feel down and out. Being dismissed from a job, for example—even if we still have our homes and loved ones—can cause us a great sense of loss. The challenges of our own lives can seem so immense that we also tend to forget the frustrations of people around us.

      We are not alone. Part of a quality life, part of true success, is learning to appreciate and consider the emotional struggle of our neighbors. This gives us a greater sense of gratitude for our own lives, even for our own struggles. Ultimately, the only way to experience the richness of life is to live in an attitude of gratitude: to appreciate what you have and what you can give. The best way to ensure your happiness is to assist others in experiencing their own.

      Thank you for helping. I hope not only that this book assists you in immeasurably improving the quality of your life, but that it may inspire you to help others as well.
