Summary
As we look around us in America and the world, much of what
is important to us is already broken or endangered, much of
it unnecessarily so. Because it is people who have broken
much of the world and endangered its future, it is people
that can and must fix what is broken and build a survivable
and thriving future for all forever. This is our moral
imperative.
People’s behavior is the key to creating and sustaining
large, positive, and timely change for a thriving future.
People’s behavior is what most endangers our future.
People’s behavior is also what offers the best chance to
change and build a thriving future.
But for transformation and the behavior that brings about
that change to occur, people must be motivated and able.
Thrive! is the motivating call for action by our leaders,
all of us together, and each of us.
viaFuture provides “next generation” strategy and the
enabling framework for creating that large, positive, and
timely change. While helpful to issues (e.g., health) and
subpopulations (e.g., the vulnerable), the framework and
strategy are especially helpful for whole communities
(including non-geographic populations, towns, cities,
counties, states, regions, nations and the whole world).
Four examples demonstrate their use: HealthePeople
- Building a Healthy and Thriving Future, Vulnerable -
Vulnerable in America and World (via), Building and
Sustaining a Thriving Community, and Building and Sustaining
a Thriving Future, the most comprehensive approach. A new
example, Thrive! Systems, is added in this version of the
book to demonstrate how this has and can be used to improve
thriving for persons and their community.
We are now at a “tipping point” when our future is most
endangered and we are most capable. Large, positive and
timely change must happen now. Creating and sustaining a
thriving future requires understanding that it is we who
have broken the present and endangered the future. It is
only we, working together that can create and sustain the
necessary large, positive and timely change for building a
thriving future for all forever.
