The most contemporary thinkers in the country unite in Imagine to inspire individuals to take positive action right now to impact their future. Each of these gifted minds offers an original essay on what America could—and should—be like as the new century unfolds.

Imagine is divided into two sections, one shows readers how to change their personal lives; the other challenges them to change the world. The authors address such specific topics as health, the environment, education, religion, the inner city, politics and technology, in the hope that their words will inspire positive cultural transformation all across the country. To promote that vision, all author royalties will go to the nonprofit Global Renaissance Alliance, an organization that encourages social awareness, political activism, and spiritual power. Includes essays by Sarah Ban Breathnach, Deepak Chopra, Anne Lamott, Thomas Moore, James Redfield, Gloria Steinem, Neale Donald Walsch, Gary Zukav, and many others.
