Little Chapel
I just finished a great book called Little Chapel on the River: A Pub, A Town, and the search for What Matters Most. It is about a pub and general store in Garrison, New York, named Guinan’s. The Guinan family ran it for years, and it was a place that operated on trust. The book mentions that morning commuters could take their newspapers and coffee, and make their own change on the counter. At night, drinkers could grab their own beers and leave money when things were busy.
 One quote from the book best sums up this attitude, and the Trust Manifesto itself. “That, after all, was how Jim and Peg would have done things, trusting until there wasn’t a reason to.”
