Imagine What America Could Be in the 21st Century Author:Marianne Williamson America's foremost visionaries offer a prescriptive plan for what every person can, and must, do to create a better future for themselves and the world. — "People sense we are at a time of amazing change, and with change comes opportunities for both breakthrough and breakdown.

The most creative contemporary thinkers in the country unite in the pages of Imagine. Their purpose is to inspire individuals to take positive action right now to impact the future. Each of these gifted minds offers a thoroughly original essay on what America could?and should?be like as the new century unfolds. Divided into six sections?The Soul of a Nation, Pillars, The Rewoven Fabric, To Whom We Belong, In God We Trust, and The New Civitas?Imagine addresses "Inner America" by showing readers how to elevate their personal lives, and "Outer America" by challenging them to impact the very foundations of civilization. Imagine suggests concrete actions that every person can take to create a brighter, more enriching future for themselves and their communities. Covering specific topics such as health, the environment, education, religion, the economy, politics, and passion, the authors hope that Imagine will inspire positive cultural transformation across the country. To promote that vision, all author royalties will go to the nonprofit Global Renaissance Alliance, an organization that encourages social awareness, political activism, and spiritual empowerment.
Imagine's inspirational message is also provocative and controversial in its call to action. The authors discuss the cultural and political trends of the 20th century that should not be allowed to continue in the 21st. Thought-provoking and eloquent, Imagine is the manifesto for a utopian future that everyone in America needs to read.
