For decades now, a robust and growing human potential movement has
sought to help us thrive as individuals. Numerous movements for
institutional and social change also are working to create environments that
will be more supportive of people. But these movements rarely interact with
each other, much less integrate their agendas for change. We need to bring
them together so they can drive sustainable and scalable change across the
board.
This is not just an opportunity. It’s an imperative. The seas we arenavigating are becoming more and more turbulent. It is no exaggeration to
say that our future is hanging in the balance. We could be sailing toward a
future whose wonders would amaze even the science fiction writers I read
as a child—or we could founder along the way.
As we make this journey, we will inevitably confront some corequestions:
• How can I move beyond fear and find ways to cultivate hope and
excitement?
• How can I connect with others to make this journey together?
• How can we amplify our impact in the areas that really excite us?
My goal in writing this book is to bring us together to answer thesequestions, so we can start to build a world driven by hope and excitement
rather than fear.
