Tony Burroughs, author of "Get What You Want," will talk about his life and life-long mission to guide others in the art of manifesting the best in themselves at 11 a.m. today at Towne Center Books in downtown Pleasanton. The tenet of the book is simple, powerful and profound: "that which you are reaching toward is also reaching out toward you." Burroughs is an author, storyteller, and a co-founder of The Intenders of the Highest Good, a grassroots community movement with Intenders Circles in countries all over the world. Also today, the Brain Quest Challenge will meet at the bookstore at 8 p.m. This is a free event sponsored by Workman Publishing and Chrysler. All ages are welcome but this event is especially geared for ages 8-12.
