| You don't have to be a senator or a CEO to make a difference; the changes that can heal the planet begin with you. In this ground-breaking look at the state of the world, distinguished scientist and futurist Ervin Laszlo outlines concrete steps every individual can take right now to change things for the better. With four essays by Masami Saionji (collectively titled “You Can Change Yourself”) and other contributions from Mikhail Gorbachev and Paulo Coelho, this is a practical handbook for the citizen who doesn't want to wait for government and big business to fix the problems of the world. Part political action handbook, part spiritual guide, this is a book for everyone who cares about the future of our planet. |

Masami Saionji
Descended from the Royal Ryuku Family of Okinawa, Masami Saionji was born in Tokyo, Japan. While in her teens she came in touch with the peace vision of philosopher Masahisa Goi, who later designated her as his successor and adopted daughter. She heads several peace organizations, and travels extensively on speaking and seminar tours. |
