Ken Streater "is a skillful navigator of the tricky terrain of good, and his timing is exquisite." His work includes books that "resonate within every life...that anyone can take to heart." Ken is a former international river guide, Fortune 500 consultant, Alaskan bush schoolteacher turned social-good entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and acclaimed author. From Botswana to Bolivia to Birmingham, what Ken has seen and experienced provides him with stories and suggestions to share, to help make us better. The reflections are honest and humorous and sometimes heart-wrenching. They are much-needed alternatives to the grossly inaccurate media representations of humanity and highlight what we have and can overcome by harnessing the goodness that runs through each one of us. His suggestions are remedies for divisiveness. They are common good initiatives and action items derived, in part, from culture-changing works that he has studied and marveled at in nearly 50 countries across the globe, tools that capitalize on our resilience and innate connectedness. His aim is to impart ways for you to turn away from discouragement and uncertainty and turn towards hope and constructive pursuits, by amplifying the positive impact you have on the world.Those touched by Ken's work agree that his message is "inspiring and heartwarming but most importantly, it is actionable," and that he "cuts through the obstacles to make clear how each one of us can be a force for good every day in the communities in which we live." Quotes (in order) by Jonathan Alter, New York Times best-selling author, senior editor of Newsweek magazine, and Emmy Award-winning journalist. Meryl Streep, Academy Award-winning actress. Nir Eyal, best-selling author of "Indistractable". Maggie Doyne, CNN Hero Award Winner and co-founder of the Blink Now Foundation
