'You are a child of God; your playing small doesn't serve the world.' - Marianne Williamson, 'Return to Love' Marianne Williamson's words have been ringing in my ears, as a warning and a personal challenge, since I read them many years ago. She warned against the self-betrayal of playing it safe, of allowing the 'good' to masquerade as the 'best.' She cautioned about the cost to ourselves, our communities and each other of discounting our talents and passions and forgetting who we really are. The key is remembering to ask the questions: 'In this moment, am I Playing Big? How can I bring all my talent, creativity and passion to this situation in this moment?' By remembering to ask the question, we begin to remember ourselves. We rediscover that we are big by Playing Big. Our transformation transforms everyone and everything around us. We cannot serve our troubled world by playing small, but neither do we have to wait for a superhero to save the day. We are here at last. Now all we have to do is to be fully ourselves.

[Read by Malcolm Hillgartner] *Includes a bonus PDF with photos A thrilling and revelatory narrative of one of the most epic and consequential periods in twentieth century history -- the Arab Revolt and the secret game to control the Middle East. The Arab revolt against the Turks in World War I was, in the words of T. E. Lawrence, ''a sideshow of a sideshow.'' As a result, the conflict was shaped to a remarkable degree by a small handful of adventurers and low-level officers far removed from the corridors of power. Curt Prüfer was an academic attached to the German embassy in Cairo whose clandestine role was to foment jihad against British rule. Aaron Aaronsohn was a renowned agronomist and committed Zionist who gained the trust of the Ottoman governor of Palestine even as he built an elaborate anti-Ottoman spy ring. William Yale was a fallen scion of the American aristocracy who traveled the Ottoman Empire on behalf of Standard Oil, dissembling to the Turks in order to gain valuable oil concessions. At the center of it all was Lawrence. In early 1914 he was an archaeologist digging ruins in Syria; by 1917 he was riding into legend at the head of an Arab army, as he fought a rearguard action against his own government and its imperial ambitions. Based on four years of intensive primary document research, Lawrence in Arabia definitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed. Sweeping in its action, keen in its portraiture, acid in its condemnation of the destruction wrought by European colonial plots, this is a book that brilliantly captures the way in which the folly of the past creates the anguish of the present.
