Shanaka Fernando is often hailed as a modern-day revolutionary. As the founder of the Lentil As Anything community restaurants in Melbourne that feed thousands every week, he advocates a unique business and life perspective. Entrancingly honest and refreshingly candid, Shanaka's memoir hints at the roots of his early social awakening with tales of a 1970s childhood in Sri Lanka. From his upbringing with an eccentric extended family living in a residential compound populated with a throng of memorable characters, we accompany Shanaka on his travels from Australia to Asia to South America and back as he explores new ways of living his life. Shanaka's example of what can be achieved based on an inclusive 'people-first' philosophy will inspire, challenge and provoke insights and questions that are undeniably worthy of attention. --Back cover.
