As the world finds itself faced with common problems that affect most of the planet's population--climate change, increasing poverty, escalating violence, international conflicts, illness--a growing sense of empathy and connection with those in remote parts of the world has caught hold and is spreading. This book presents a unique approach to what it means to belong to one human family and how it can help us address the problems that affect us all.
