How design can change the world. Change is the only constant. In 2020 the world experienced a global pandemic, social inequalities, climate change, racial injustices, riots and unrests, and rapid advances of new technologies. Although many fear change, it is the job of designers to create and thrive in such times. To document our present moment, Gjoko Muratovski invited ten highly influential design figures--including iconic design leaders such as Carole Bilson, Karim Rashid, Bruce Mau, Steven Heller, and Don Norman--to reflect on the current state of affairs. By looking to the past and reflecting on the present, these designers project very personal images of the future that they would like to see. The conversations are broad, covering topics as diverse as beauty, race, and gender to design activism and economic resilience.

Do you sense it? Are you aware of moments of destiny occurring? If there is increased enlightenment on the Earth today, why is there so much trouble in the world? If we are nearing a better, more peaceful future, why does it seem that wars and violence are increasing? What actions are correct? What paths should a spiritually minded being take to help the world gain that which appears most humans desire? The vision of a golden age is a true thing. Such a state of existence can become reality sooner than you may be capable of believing while observing the current chaotic world. Everywhere on the globe there will be challenges to what was once considered order. The past gave us a world of inequality. Societies that held sway for many centuries were imbalanced and aggressive. Monolithic entities of government, banking, and religion will not easily shift their paths or accept that they are outmoded. They will seek to maintain their dominance over the populations of Earth. There is no longer enough power to prop up obsolete philosophies. People are seeking something better, something more equitable. The humans in existence on the planet today sense the will of Gaia at a more powerful level than at any time in the past three thousand years. Gaia seeks balance, and her human stewards are awakening to this call. The energy of change is moving rapidly. It cannot be contained. It cannot be stopped. It can be useful. It can be channeled. The higher perspective offered within these pages can inspire you to form powerful channels of energy to create the results and future you desire.

"More than ever, leaders are expected to be the change agents of their organizations. Yet CEO turnover continues to rise and organizations continue to struggle in their efforts to confront the fearsome adaptive challenges of the global age. Epic Change is a path-breaking contribution to the study of leadership and organizational change. Based on a landmark study of 53 cases of large-scale organizational change in business, healthcare, government, education, and the non-profit sector, acclaimed thought leader and researcher, Dr. Timothy R. Clark unveils the "Power Curve of Change" framework and EPIC system for change management (Evaluate, Prepare, Implement, Consolidate) for leaders who are charged to lead high-stakes change initiatives in their organizations. Epic Change presents a strategic-level road map, along with tactical level tools, for the every-day needs of leaders who must respond to all types of adaptive challenge to remain competitive. It represents a comprehensive, research-based program for leaders who want to develop the indispensable competency of leading change in a permanently and profoundly different age. Change rarely fails for lack of strategy—Clark shows that only the discretionary efforts of people can make change happen—and this requires leadership and energy management. The Epic Change approach has been successfully field-tested with leaders at all levels and in organizations around the world. This important resource provides leaders new research-based tools to increase and sustain the energy of any change effort."

It is difficult to be hopeful in the midst of daily news about the effects of climate change on people and our planet. While the Christian basis for hope is the resurrection of Jesus, unfortunately far too many American Protestant Christians do not connect this belief with the daily witness of their faith. This book argues that the resurrection proclaims a notion of hope that should be the foundation of a theology of creation care that manifests itself explicitly in the daily lives of believers. Christian hope not only inspires us to do great and courageous things but also serves as a critique of current systems and powers that degrade humans, nonhumans, and the rest of creation and thus cause us to be hopeless. Belief in the resurrection hope should cause us to be a different sort of people. Christians should think, purchase, eat, and act in novel and courageous ways because they are motivated daily by the resurrection of Jesus. This is the only way to be hopeful in the age of climate change.
