Shift Happens: Musings from Digital Immigrants to Future Generations on Navigating the Age of Transformation
By: CAMalot et al.
Depending on your vantage point–as a Babyboomer, Gen Xer, Millennial, or Digital Native–the vast array of technology available to us today can be overwhelming, awe-inspiring, or just the reliable norm. In this relative context, how do we bridge the gap between those who are tech savvy and those who are technology-blind? How do we retain the wisdom of our elders while honoring the imagination and potential of our young people? Is it possible to embrace all of this technology and still remain human? Then again, what might we lose if we are unwilling to shift toward the future and accept the opportunity that all this innovation invites?
In this unique book, thought leaders from our time explore these very questions. Each contribution–whether presented in the form of an essay, poem, letter, dialogue, or fairytale–reveals valuable nuggets of wisdom to ponder as the human race shifts seemingly ever faster toward our future.

| The Soul of Money By: Lynne Twist |
Through her amazing fundraising efforts (she’s raised millions for the Hunger Project), Lynne has gained an intimate portrait of the financial lives of many donors and recipients. She learned that having wealth and having the experience of being wealthy do not necessarily go hand in hand!
The lies and assumptions we have about money that are pervasive in our culture include:
1. There’s not enough.
2. More is better.
3. That’s just the way it is.
By acknowledging that these beliefs are not really true, we can free ourselves to experience
the abundance we already have.
