    About this ebook

    Improve your relationships with others and help make the world a better place with this guide to changing your mindset to embrace inclusivity.

    Sharif Abdullah writes, “We live in a world that works for only a few.” The problem, he asserts, is exclusivity: the fundamental belief that we are separate from one another. By practicing exclusivity, we have created a soul-starved society. We suffer, both personally and as a society, from complex, interlocking problems so intense that they create a deep sense of emptiness in all of us.

    In Creating a World That Works for All, Abdullah shows how we can change our world by changing our consciousness. We can actually put an end to these complex problems by embracing inclusivity—the realization that all of our lives are inextricably linked. With a practical blueprint for this positive approach to change, he reveals how to turn from a mentality that disconnects us to one that embraces the goals of restoring balance to the Earth and building community with all others. Abdullah shows how this transformation to inclusivity lies at the heart of all the world’s spiritual traditions.

    “Creating a World That Works for All is a wonderfully rich collection of insights, analyses, and possibilities. It provides stimulating guidance for those of us who want to live in a world that works for all.” —Margaret J. Wheatley, author of Leadership and the New Science and coauthor of A Simpler Way

    “A compelling and inspirational book that ignites creativity and a renewed commitment to re-dream and mend a world that works for all. No other book addresses our current situation in such a thorough and practical way.” —Angeles Arrien, PhD, cultural anthropologist and author of The Four-Fold War and Signs of Life
