Discover how to change the conversation in these times … and change the world.

Many folks are wondering, after the events of the past few years: Can we choose to create the future we most desire, or are we at the mercy of forces beyond our control?

How might we enliven civic engagement … and revitalize social causes and organizations of social good?

We wrote What Kind of World Do You Want? to give encouraging real-life answers, drawn from more than a decade of intensive learning labs and interviews with leaders from more than 50 countries — and the latest insights about human and organizational behavior.

In the pages of this book, you’ll find support for your highest hopes for the world: Proven ways to enliven civic life, reignite confidence, and inspire people to act — with renewed conviction that we can change the world and create the future we most desire.

Let’s change the conversation and find the energy to tip the scales of history.

We’re making a gift of this book in honor of the people who made its arrival possible … the civic leaders, philanthropists, colleagues, and friends who make this world the kind of world we want to live in and leave behind. And in honor of your investments in the common good. We want you to have the same lift so many have gained from these ideas.

Watch this 90-second video for a glimpse into the lively global community behind the book.
