Sam's next book, 50 Things Your Life Doesn't Need is a guide to finding and living your passion. Using a method that helped him find his life's passion - and then create his life's work - he doesn't simply offer a checklist of things to get rid of, but rather offers a way for the reader to ask himself or herself the hard questions needed to focus on finding and living one's passion.
The book will be available in November and is part of Turner Publishing's "Good Things to Know" series.

Praise for the book:
"Most people think that change emanates from BIG - big money, big ideas, and big people. What Sam and Stephen have realized, and what you can learn from New Day Revolution, is that MOST change comes through the decisions we make in our everyday lives. The kind of friend, citizen, consumer you are CAN change the world, much more than charity ever can. New Day Revolution is a manifesto for a new life - yours."
Robert Egger
President, DC Central Kitchen and Author of Begging for Change
"New Day Revolution is a compelling call for us all to dip our toes in the waters of socially and environmentally conscious and caring action. The water level rises, and before long we're all swimming in a peaceful world."
Gabe Dixon
Singer/Songwriter
"This sunny, neighborly book is a good way to get in sync with the planet. Contrary to what Kermit told us on Sesame Street, it's easy being green. The authors make it cool and fun to focus on the little things in life that add up to make a better world."
Jim Cooper
U.S. Congressman, 5th District of Tennessee
Sam was commissioned to write an essay for Hope: It's More Than Wishful Thinking. For his piece, he describes hope as "the very deepest longing of our soul. We long for hope like our dry mouth craves drink. And when we get it, even just a little bit, it radically alters the course of our day - and our lives." Edited by Amy Lyles Wilson and with a contributor list including Frederick Buechner, Jim Wallis, Parker Palmer, and Doris Donnelly, this book is an excellent resource for anyone in need of - or wanting to offer - hope.
