"I never told my religion nor scrutinize that of another. I never attempted to make a convert nor wished to change another's creed. I have judged of others' religion by their lives, for it is from our lives and not from our words that our religion must be read. By the same test must the world judge me."
- Thomas Jefferson
(1743 - 1826)

Duane Elgin's bestselling Voluntary Simplicity changed the lives of thousands and was called the "bible" of the simplicity movement by the Wall Street Journal. Now, in Promise Ahead, he helps readers take the next step. Elgin outlines four emerging "opportunity trends," including voluntary simplicity, that can help surmount social, economic, and environmental challenges we all face. Other positive trends include using the Internet to leverage swift grass-roots change, heeding scientific evidence of the deilcate balance that comprises the universe, and utilizing the power of compassionate love to heal humanity's wounds. Succinct and hopeful, Promise Ahead shows how we are uniquely posed to use our ingenuity to leap into a promising future.
About the Author:
Duane Elgin is an author, speaker, evolutionary activist, and Internet entrepreneur who has spent decades studying our long-range future. He lives in San Rafael, California.
