[close] Compelling lens telling 7 stories of social innovation around the world. Outlier description for the inspiration that occurs? "No one is coming to help. Now What?" Good read on how communities form around big hairy questions and inspiring stories of people who create their own solutions. The poem in the beginning of the book is compelling as well. A quote by Pema Chodron, Buddhist teacher:
"The whole globe is shook up, so what are you going to do when things are falling apart?
You're either going to become more fundamentalist and try to hold things together,
or, you're going to forsake the old ambitions and goals and live life as an experiment making it up as you go along." The book jacket points to communities living the future now.
