How people can change the world around them, by first changing themselves
It is easy to view the world without hope; to stand back and feel helpless. But what if that were simply not true? What if we werent victims who were done for and done to and started to set a different standard by living fully, creatively, and spiritually? This book is incisive and full of practical, spiritual wisdom. Draper goes in search of the positive, the infinite, and the good, and wants to pass it on. It is time to see the world with fresh eyes, to be inspired, and to help others. But its not just about spreading a positive message—its about transforming lives, because “transformed people, transform people”—change starts with us. And thats when it spreads.
