Humanity Is Beautiful

I'm writing a book called "Humanity Is Beautiful: A New Story For A World On Fire." It's meant to help us acknowledge how we often relate to our own species from a place of shame and offer a new way that both acknowledges all the ways in which we can and must continue to grow, while also acknowledging and embracing our genius - our incredible, unique ability to change and transcend.

This book is coming along slowly. So I thought I'd offer a "living draft" that allows Spark of Genius members to follow along as it emerges. Below is a table of contents for what I've published so far.
