As the global economy staggers on the brink of collapse and the earth hurtles towards a looming environmental disaster, Shari Arison - one of the most influential women in the world - steps forward with a message. In her new book, 'Birth: When the Spiritual and the Material Come Together,' Arison shares her revealing personal account of an arduous journey marked by an extreme sensitivity to the future, which has often been reflected in vivid and terrifying visions of events yet to occur. Through an ever-widening investigation into her innermost self, Arison's journey has culminated in a blueprint of her vison for the future. Our future. In her visionary book, Arison shares her conviction that her wealth is a gift, a platform for putting into action her deeply held beliefs about sustainability, mutual responsibility, and transforming the world. 'Birth' is a call to create a new reality for us and for future generations. It is a reassurance that we have the power within us to turn collapse into change, chaos into harmony, and to transform unworkable conventions into a new model for living - a model that brings together the spiritual and the material to create a better, brighter future for humanity. Arison used her spiritual quest to acquire the tools and knowledge to make a genuine difference, to build a new reality, and to make the world a better place - socially, environmentally, and economically. This lifelong spiritual journey translates into a powerful message for each and everyone of us.
