About

I’m old enough to remember a time when people were excited about the future. The National Geographic magazine had stories about how we’d all be living on the Moon or in orbiting farms that would help feed the people on our planet. There was hope that we’d solve the problems we faced and we’d come out OK.

The feeling today is much bleaker. We’re faced with climate change and a whole slew of other problems and the future has become scary. My goal is to help you get excited about where we’re going as a species, and that’s what this book is about… in a way.

It’s not all about hope and inspiration, though that is certainly needed. It’s a practical guide. It offers actionable steps that we can all take. And you’re not going to hear me recommend that you plant a tree or start recycling. We all have much more to offer than that. Together we have immense power to create change and this book is about how we can harness that power to bring about the world that we want to live in.
