'A serious guide to remaking the world' is taken from Jean Brown's series of Reflections articles published in For A Change magazine. She writes: 'Some years ago my daughter, then aged five, announced with satisfaction that her primary school class had decided to save the world. We all get that call at some point, usually before the age of 26.... There is a knock at the door of our imagination and we usually open it just enough to glimpse amazing and alarming possibilities for our lives.... It always involves the invitation to serve the world and a purpose bigger than ourselves.... At various times in their lives some people revisit that longing to have a calling more than a job.... And during that proverbial mid-life crisis, it makes itself uncomfortably felt, when we ask ourselves yet again, "What is life really all about?"'

Jean looks at four steps to 'remaking the world': Starting with yourself; Engaging others; Creating answers; Giving hope to humanity. The booklet is designed and illustrated with cartoons by Nigel Heywood.
