I read this book through my kindle unlimited account. This book addresses issues of overpopulation, war, climate change, income inequality, corporate domination and human association. There are also some important and informative history lessons. I particularly liked how the book was written in story format between the author, who is a professor, and his conversation with a struggling minority female who lost her brother in the Iraq war. The setting takes place in a Middle Eastern restaurant in Chicago. Although there are some aspects that I disagree with especially the push towards a more “socialistic” society, there are very good points that the author addresses in very compelling ways. My three takeaways from this book are:
1) All human beings are part of a collective consciousness. As a result we all live each other’s lives in how we carry ourselves despite our ethnic and cultural differences.
2) Be the change that you want to see. In other words, you can’t change the world until you change your beliefs and act upon them.
3) Put yourself in other people’s shoes before you make any rash judgments or accusations against another human being.
I am a rather slow reader but was able to finish this book in less than a week. I do believe that people have a lot to gain and benefit from this reading. It is very thought provoking and engaging. If we truly want the world to change for the better, we can definitely learn a lot from the concepts laid out in this reading. -
A fascinating read - A Future for the 99% recounts the meeting of two strangers on the L train in Chicago on a freezing cold day, one (the author) has a ton of ideas in his head to make the world a happier, more peaceful, more secure place - the other is a multicultural, smart young person working as a barista after years of college education and worried about her parents, her granddad and her own future.
What unfolds is a long conversation about hugely inspiring ideas and a call to action to try out the 4 Keys as the author presents them for 30 days and see if your life feels better. All grassroots social movements start somewhere and Bud Clark is lighting a fire with this book.
It's a highly engaging read, a real pleasure to pore over, and whether you put it into practice or not, you feel more hopeful, more at one with the rest of the world, you feel like you can understand where others are coming from better, you want to go out and act on the positive juice this book gives you.
I really recommend everyone on the planet gives this book a go. What do you have to lose?
