Creating the Community You Want

By Mark Ballard

What defines a community? What can a community become? Can an individual actively work with others to create a better community? This book addresses many essential questions through detailed discussions of novel ideas, balancing considerations, and practical steps. When is self-help is not enough? What if some of the better solutions to life's problems are not fully realized by simply improving ourselves? This book focuses on improving individuals' lives through improving ourselves and our close-knit communities. The table of contents lists the insightful questions that are examined, from topics as diverse as understanding how wealth and resources are created and maintained - to understanding how uncommon concepts about love, intelligence, and skill-building can promote common good. As many communities are declining in size and participation, this book can teach individuals how to design and strengthen communities they create around themselves. This book will reward you and your community with far more benefits than the price you paid for it or the time you take to read it. The topics can be read in any order that interests you. It's difficult to create communities that are better than communities you've lived in. The better you understand characteristics of a vibrant, nurturing, & abundant community, the more likely you & yours can create one.
