His answer is to dream great big, meaningful, authentic dreams and to follow those dreams with passion and persistence.In every direction there are problems, on a personal level, a community level, on a national level and on a global scale. The best way to move successfully through the many problems is not some one-size-fits-all solution, but rather ten billion unique, creative, personally meaningful The Power of Ten Billion Dreams .With an intimate journey through his own dreams, Ralph makes an inspiring and compelling case for the value and the necessity of individual life dreams. When there is turmoil and change in the world, there is also a massive amount of positive opportunity. Our highly productive and interconnected civilization empowers individuals like never before, and that empowerment presents each of us with a profound obligation. Centuries of technological and societal progress have created an amazing worldwide achievement machine. That machine is nourished and maintained by the power of individual dreams. The Power of Ten Billion Dreams offers a personally meaningful way to make sense of our complex, fast-changing world and shows how even small, seemingly frivolous dreams serve to push all of life positively forward.You owe it to yourself and to the whole world to bring your most treasured, authentic dreams fully to life. In the same positive vein as Ralph's widely-loved Daily Motivator website and Twitter posts, The Power of Ten Billion Dreams will give you an overwhelming dose of emphatic, energetic encouragement to do so.

[Frank Pray · Rating 3 out of 5]

To be read quickly, with large segments to be scanned or ignored, especially when he covers his very personal fascination with boating. It is good to be reminded that nothing significant changes without a dream. The key point I derived from the book is that we are each created with a unique mission and our dream at its highest and best is to fulfill our unique way of expressing value in the world.
