Are you a Cultural Creative? Do you dislike all the emphasis in modern culture on success and "making it," on getting and spending, on wealth and luxury goods? Do you care deeply about the destruction of the environment and would pay higher taxes or prices to clean it up and to stop global warming? Are you unhappy with both the left and the right in politics and want to find a new way that does not simply steer a middle course?

The Cultural Creatives describes the great social transformation that has already started and the people who are making it happen (a majority of whom are women, no surprise to me!) What is astonishing is that so many people share these new values and new way of life without realizing there are millions of others who are like us. This is a truly fascinating and enlightening study of American culture in the process of change.

You will come away with hope for a brighter future as we cope with this difficult transition to a saner, wiser culture. We women must lead the way.
