The Fishbowl Principle

At the core,it doesn’t matter what you believe governs the fate of man and Earth, what matters is that humans, as a global society, build a future that is sustainable and peaceful. This is the ultimate human evolutionary development, this is our challenge.

By tracing our existence from where we began to what we have become today, this book explores the evolution and, should we continue on our current path, the subsequent possible obsolescence of human beings. Far from a doomsday tome, The Fishbowl Principle challenges readers to expand their world view, and offers a fresh perspective on ourselves, our world, and the many interactions between them.  The authors argue that humans have reached a fragile tipping point at this unprecedented time in history; and that instead of fragmenting and isolating ourselves into a future of despair, we can reframe our way of thinking about ourselves and our world, and use this new perspective to achieve a prosperous and sustainable future for everyone.  The Fishbowl Principle examines what can be achieved if we place ourselves accurately into the grand story of Creation, look to our similarities instead of our differences.

The Fishbowl Principle is about breaking down boundaries, and doing so with fresh perspectives and a dialogue of ideas. We hope to harness communication as a powerful and cost effective tool in order to bring people together. We aim to educate ourselves in a way that fosters sustainable and responsible population growth, policy decisions, spiritual philosophies, and everyday interpersonal interactions. If such communication and education could be achieved, its positive impact on our lives would be immeasurable. The Fishbowl Principle offers everyone - regardless of nationality, age, education, or creed - a new way to think about very old problems, thought-provoking questions , and tangible alternatives to the course our society has been charting. Our vision is a collaborative one, and requires your participation. The next step forward includes all of us, and it starts with you.
