The DreamMakers in this book are redefining success in our world, from power and money for the few, to wellbeing and flourishing for all. This book is about hope, intended for anyone who is seeking to help create a better future for themselves and our world. It is for people who sense on an intuitive level that we are living in an unprecedented time in which to make a tremendous difference our world. It is also for people looking for inspiration, insights, and innovative ideas to reshape their lives, businesses, institutions, organizations, and communities and to renew the planet that sustains us. This book is especially for those who choose to accept the personal responsibility and assume the leadership to help create a flourishing world. 

"It is the great irony of our day that, in a world where more and more people know that the future will look very different from the past, the most visible stories of the present seem more and more driven by desperate, fear-driven efforts to return to the past. In a time when it is easy to set aside hope as naïve, Michele Hunt reminds us that all change starts with protecting that small spark of possibility and then takes us on a tour of amazing fire protectors around the world.”
