America is entering a crisis era in an historical pattern of change cycles. For the next 15-20 years we will be dealing with conditions that work to breakdown, challenge and call us forth to new capacities and new ways of living. I believe this crisis period will coalesce around three major domains: energy, healthcare and [...]

I consider myself to be an ambassador for the NextAmericans. Here are a few thoughts about what ‘the Next Americans’ means. John F. Kennedy’s remarkable speech given at Rice University in September, 1962 “No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but condense, if you will, the 50,000 years of [...]

This is a bit hyperbolic, but nonetheless it teases out some of the conditions our kids are growing up in, and the ones in which they are developing and learning to adapt to. What can we do to help them?
