Creative Change Becoming changemakers and seeing the heart of lasting change

This book is about igniting the changemaker in each of us, to help change the world for the better. You do not need to be superhuman to be a changemaker. You do, however, need to find your cause and then find creative ways, visions and solutions to shape that and make a difference. And if your creative vision is strong enough, it will attract others to join your cause, thus creating what the author describes as a “creative change cycle” that others resonate with and want to be a part of. Presented as six key concepts framed by parables, which is further divided into 80 threads consisting of short stories and evidence-based and personal reflections, the book seeks to demystify the concept and practice of changemaking. It also features lessons from over 28 changemakers across diverse fields such as the arts, business, politics, religion and technology, as well as historical lessons learned through movements from East to West spanning five millennia.
