The plain fact
is that the planet does not need more "successful" people. But it does
desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and
lovers of every shape and form. It needs people who live well in their
places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to
make the world habitable and humane. And these needs have little to do
with success as our culture has defined it.
