Creating a World that Works for All [B1274]

1999 PB in excellent condition. Exclusivity--the desire to stay separate from other people--is at the root of most of the world's problems, according to Abdullah, who then presents a unique blueprint for social justice. Improve your relationships with others and help make the world a better place with this guide to changing your mindset to embrace inclusivity. Sharif Abdullah writes, "We live in a world that works for only a few." By practicing exclusivity, we have created a soul-starved society. We suffer, both personally and as a society, from complex, interlocking problems so intense that they create a deep sense of emptiness in all of us.

In Creating a World That Works for All, Abdullah shows how we can change our world by changing our consciousness. We can actually put an end to these complex problems by embracing inclusivity-the realization that all of our lives are inextricably linked. With a practical blueprint for this positive approach to change, he reveals how to turn from a mentality that disconnects us to one that embraces the goals of restoring balance to the Earth and building community with all others. Abdullah shows how this transformation to inclusivity lies at the heart of all the world's spiritual traditions.

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Abdullah on his community building project in Oregon. He embodies what he writes about and teaches how to embrace inclusivity."; "This book is as relevant today as it was 20 years ago when it was written. It has made a huge impact on my thinking and harmonizes with my heart and soul. I urge you to read it and share with your friends. It is clearly time for us all to wake up to the realities we are living with in our world and step into action!"; "A wonderful path towards peace and love in the Universe."; "The title says it all. Creating A World That Works For All is the best book in its genre, perhaps across several genres, that I have ever read. It inspires me to think of myself, just as I am, as an important part of a greater whole instead of someone who needs fixing in order to have a better quality of life. It makes me feel that I am a part of the One, and so is everyone else. Shariff Abdullah directs the Commonway Institute (commonway.org).
