The cultural creatives : how 50 million people are changing the world

Paul H. Ray (Author), Sherry Ruth Anderson (Author)
"In this book, sociologist Paul H. Ray and psychologist Sherry Ruth Anderson draw upon thirteen years of survey research studies on more than 100,000 Americans, plus more than 100 focus groups and dozens of in-depth interviews. They reveal who the Cultural Creatives are and the fascinating story of their emergence over the last generation, using vivid examples and engaging personal stories to describe their distinctive values and lifestyles." "The Cultural Creatives care deeply about ecology and saving the planet, about relationships, peace, and social justice, about self-actualization, spirituality, and self-expression. The Cultural Creatives offers a more hopeful future and prepares us all for a transition to a new, saner, and wiser culture."--Jacket
