HuffPost Live: Originally aired on September 17, 2014
Screenwriter Tracey Jackson and songwriter Paul Williams join Nancy to discuss their new book “Gratitude And Trust: Six Affirmations That Will Change Your Life.” We’ll also discuss how they collaborate on fighting addiction and finding peace of mind.
Paul Williams and Tracey Jackson on ‘Gratitude and Trust’
Over the years, many of songwriter Paul Williams’ greatest successes have been collaborations.
He earned an Oscar with Barbra Streisand for their song “Evergreen” for “A Star is Born” (1976). With Kenny Ascher, he penned Kermit the Frog’s signature number, “The Rainbow Connection.” And just last year, he took home an Album of the Year Grammy thanks to his contributions to Daft Punk’s hit LP, “Random Access Memories.”
Now, Williams has partnered with screenwriter and author Tracey Jackson for his first book, “Gratitude and Trust: Six Affirmations That Will Change Your Life,” due out on Tuesday, Sept. 16, through Blue Rider Press.
“If we were writing a specific section of the book, we would write a couple of pages separately, and I think what surprised me the most is how well our language fit together,” Williams said.

Songwriter Paul Williams and screenwriter Tracey Jackson landed a book deal with Blue Rider Press, writing about recovery and addiction. Gratitude and Trust: Recovery Is Not Just for Addicts will come out in fall 2014. According to the release, the book will include “the knowledge Paul has gained in the two decades he has spent working in the recovery movement, healing both himself and helping others to heal, and Tracey’s lifelong quest for peace and a daily routine to get her through the ups and downs of life.” William Morris Endeavor agent Eric Simonoff negotiated the deal with publisher David Rosenthal.
