Have you ever been in "the zone" but not known how you got there? Have you ever been out of "the zone" and wondered how to get back in it? Have you ever wondered where this somewhat mythical "zone" actually was? Well, this book is a map of how to find your way around it and how to stay in it. First it explores the "doing zones", where we are superbly creative and at the top of our game. Next, it takes a diversion to those places we end up where things don't go so well - they are the "danger zones".

Perhaps unlike any other species on the planet, we have the ability and 'smarts' to influence our own evolution and future. This doesn't necessarily require manipulation of our DNA - although this may be one mechanism we utilize. Merely by thinking and using our imagination, we can change our course. This We Are is as much a celebration as who and what we are as humans as it is a polemic. Its brevity belies its depth. It is a clarion call to each person on this special planet to live the most magnificent life they can.
