The Best Way to Doze off to Sleep...

If you're a regular internet peruser, then you have most likely heard of the very popular website www.worldchanging.com.  They have an engaging daily blog with constantly interesting posts about the tools, models, and ideas for shaping our world for the future.   

The Worldchanging team recently published a book, called Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century that attempts to combine a number of resources and ideas about what a sustainable future can look like.  The book, like the site, is divided into seven main sections: Stuff, Shelter, Cities, Community, Business, Politics, and Planet.  The book is quite a read, (six hundred pages!) but the content is organized in such a way that is very easy to browse through the short chapters and read whatever tickles your fancy in the moment.  For instance, in one night I might read the chapter on "Educating Girls and Empowering Women" (from the Community section,) "The Hidden Vitality of Slums" (from Cities,) and "Craft it Yourself" (from the Stuff section.)  I have been finding this book to be pretty inspiring nightly reading.  I'm loving learning about the countless positive, innovative ideas and actions that people are thinking of and practicing.   I end up nodding off to sleep, dreaming of a better world.

What other books are people reading out there that offer inspiring solutions?  Feel free to leave book recommendations in the comments- I know I'm always looking for seriously good reading.
