• By the bestselling author of Leadership and the New Science and

Turning to One Another

• Provides an intimate experience of how seven healthy and resilient

communities took on intractable problems by working together in

new and different ways

• Immerses the reader in the experience of each community through

stories, essays, first-person accounts, and over 100 color photos

This is an era of increasingly complex problems, fewer and fewer resources to

address them, and failing solutions.

Is it possible to find viable solutions to the

challenges we face today as individuals, communities, and nations?

This inspiring book takes readers on a learning journey to seven communities around the world to meet people who have "walked out" of limiting beliefs and assumptions and "walked on" to create healthy and resilient communities.

These Walk Outs who Walk On use their ingenuity and caring to figure out how to work with what they have to create what they need.

Thinking like a genius can improve our lives

"If Leonardo da Vinci was growing up in modern school he'd probably be put on Ritalin" ... one of the quotes from this video

In Michael Gelb's book "How To Think Like Leonardo da Vinci", he displays his passion for applying genius thinking to our lives and believes that by using principles that were implicit to Da Vinci's work, we can become more creative and learn faster.
