The world is changing at a faster pace than at any other period in time, and although many of us are doing quite nicely, thank you very much, too many of us are suffering from malnutrition, a lack of adequate shelter and clothing, a scarcity of work, poor or non-existent education and ill health. On top of that, the actions of humankind have brought us to a point where the very host upon which we all depend for our existence is being abused and poisoned to such an extent that at a time when we should be toasting our prosperous future, we are continually racked with doubt and worry about how it will all end. But does it have to be that way? Think about it. If something isn't working, what do you do? You try something new. And that is what this book is all about. We've already stated that we're not here as harbingers of catastrophe and ruin, although we will have to touch upon certain happenings in the world to illustrate our points, rather we are here as prophets of joy and light, to demonstrate how not just you, but everybody, can become involved in the prosperous future of our beautiful planet. This book explains what An Idea Nation is all about. It tells you why it exists, how you can become involved and make a real difference to not only your life, but also to the lives of people you'll probably never ever meet. And that's to say nothing of the widespread benefits such action can bring to the whole of humankind for generations to come. It isn't a crusade or a charity, more a self-help program for a brighter future. It's a new way of thinking. It's a new way of tackling today's problems in a positive manner. As such, this book is an important statement, a jumping off point for our future.
