YOUR KIND OF WORLD - Jim Lord

For most people, those words conjure up worrisome images of war, poverty, environmental degradation. A shared sense of looming disaster is fuelled by constant attention to the heartbreak of September 11, the devastation of tsunamis and hurricanes, and countless other calamities actual and feared.
Many people believe that civilization is descending to new depths and the very existence of life on earth is at risk. With good reason. We can find ample evidence that we’re making a mess of things.
Against such a backdrop, how can anyone honestly believe the future might turn out well?
My sense of urgency springs from an entirely different source. Surprising as it may sound, I believe humanity is poised to ascend to new heights–and indeed has already begun to do so, in ways often invisible to our view. As you page through this book, I think you’ll find plenty of evidence to support this unusual claim.
The world I see is vibrant, vital, and filled with promise. When I take a good hard look at this reality, I experience a new kind of urgency, founded on confidence and hope. Of course, you will decide whether to buy this premise.
