Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Think Act Vote (?!X) a radical think tank founded by Amisha Ghadiali that explores the new and creative ways we can and are shaping our future lives and communities. We are disrupting the traditional model of a think tank because we believe that every single one of us, no matter what age, background, religion, ethnicity or occupation has personal experiences and ideas to share that can lead us to a brighter future. “Imagination is the most precious currency we have. This anthology is a priceless, awe-inspiring companion in a time for new dreams.” Jonathan Robinson (Founder of Impact Hub) “What keeps us trapped by the mistakes of the past? Often it is the inability to imagine the world being truly different, a lack of example or inspiration to follow, or simply not believing that we can make a difference. The Future Is Beautiful from Think Act Vote has a cure for each of these ills.” Andrew Simms, New Economics Foundation “An idea that will send a transforming fire to the future.” Ben Okri, author & poet "I feel a new form of democracy stirring and it is exciting and vital. Go make a difference I say. Read this book and start now.” Tim Smit, The Eden Project “Every revolution needs and creates a book. A beautiful revolution needs and creates a beautiful book. This book is it. Buy it, steal it, borrow it, share it and be beautiful.” Neal Lawson, Compass “The Future Is Beautiful gives rise to a future we can all look forward to.” Indra Adnan, Soft Power Network “Martin Luther King did not stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and say “I have a plan”. Without dreams of a better future we are destined to the obedience of cynicism, and a miserable life that is. Eleanor Roosevelt nailed it: “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” – people like the contributors to, and the readers of, this inspiring book” Mark Stevenson, We Do Things Differently “Don’t hesitate to pull this down and get inspired.. it’s the upper to help us make today beautiful.” Tessa Tennant, green investment pioneer
