Product Description
The world is a mess. The privileged few prosper. The masses suffer. And everyone feels spiritually empty. Most people would blame capitalism, racism, or some other "ism". But according to Sharif M. Abdullah, the problem is not ideology. It's exclusivity -- our desire to stay separate from other people.
In Creating a World That Works for All, Abdullah takes a look at the mess we live in -- and presents a way out. To restore balance to the earth and build community, he says, people must stop blaming others, embrace inclusivity, and become "menders". He outlines three simple tests -- for "enoughness", exchangeability, and common benefit -- to guide people as they transform themselves and the world.

We have to change it now!
Luckily Patch Adams listed this book from his personal library on his web page. That is how I began the search for my own copy, thank you Amazon.
America is a powerhouse, but like a star athlete in a drunken brawl, a powerhouse out of control. Sharif M. Abdullah gives us the keys for building a nourishing nation that does indeed work for all, instead of a toxic one that works barely hit and miss. He also addresses our soul-starved condition that dominates our present day culture. Americans, rich and poor are continually asking, "where's the beef?" Give yourself 48 hours to get this book into your own hands, it is amazing. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get into the transformation game, no bench warmers allowed!
Excellent Book
Creating a World That Works For All is one of the best books I have ever read. The author brings up many good points and questions that causes the reader to actually pause and think. If you're looking for a great book to challenge your mind, this is the choice!
Engaging and transformative
Sharif has definitely got his finger on the pulse! Not only does he go into unique detail clarfiying the issues facing our local and global society, he offers powerful solutions - both next steps and long range strategies. I cannot recommend this book enough. Everyone should read it, and read it soon!
