The bottom-line mentality that drives corporations is creating a world unresponsive to human needs, corrosive to the democratic process, and destructive to the planet itself. This book shows the links between our everyday struggles and the global corporate economy. It tells us how we can change things by transforming our lives.
The authors use hard-hitting examples and illuminating personal vignettes about confronting fear, anger, death, family problems, and the stultifying effects of staying in the "comfort zone". They detail over 75 steps for personal and societal actions - some quick and immediate, others in-depth and long term - for retaking control of our lives.
Deeply moving, outrageous, and inspiring, this book blends unrelenting candour with real-life stories of hope - and ultimately shows us that choice is the most important tool we have for reviving our lives and our world.
