“The future strength and vitality of America depend in great measure on the extent to which her leaders and citizens as a whole adhere to our nation's core values ("life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness") while at the same time, adjust to the incredible changes taking place in the world today. This enormous challenge is powerfully addressed in this encouraging book. The authors set forth strategies as possible ways for Americans to prepare creatively for the future, while building toward an ever-more humane nation and world.”
- George Gallup, Jr., Founding Chairman, The George H Gallup International Institute

Description of the book: The rapid changes affecting America and the world have been led by economic and technological forces. The cultural dimensions of this change have been largely ignored in the process. Without significant advances and innovation in the realm of culture and value, the huge economic and technological gains of the recent past are exposed to great risk. In the face of these changes and challenges, this book asks: are we facing sunset or dawn?
