Are you a Leaver or a Taker?

If you liked An Inconvenient Truth...then you just might like this too!

I recently read the book Ishmael, which contained a very enlightening perspective of how people should live, why we may get confused over right/wrong and ethical/unethical, and so much more. The story itself was written pretty well (imo) and allowed the reader to see understanding play out in the form of a story that included mentoring, research, and self-discovery. So to my reader friends (you know who you are) and even non-reader friends, I highly recommend Ishmael if you haven't read it yet...and below is a real-life article that may make you more interested in picking up the book and finding out how we can stop destroying the world.

To read the article and excerpt may take about 15 minutes of your day. A minor investment to make to raise a level of consciousness.

An article that points to how we negatively impact the world and other species:

I'm always thrilled to find others who have read Ishmael. Way to go! We have an active Ishmael group here in Atlanta, called Atlanta Leavers. See ya. Todd
