Fix the World
The world is falling apart. You can ignore it, and let the kids deal with the damage, or you can change the way you live and mitigate that damage. This show’s about changing: Take less, give more, and leave more alone. It’s simple. If you do it well, you’ll fix the world. If you don’t, you can do everything else and accomplish nothing. That’s my summary statement after 80 years of struggling to make meaning of life. I'm not paid to do this podcast, and I'm not selling anything. I just want a better life for my kids, and your kids, and their kids. If that's what you want, I can help you make it happen. Think critically about what you want. There's probably a big difference between what you think you want and what you really want. Fix the world by knowing this difference, and working for what you really want.

Fix the World
Episode 13, Review Questions and Answers
When you want to fix the world, start with the Millennium Development Goals: End hunger and poverty, empower women, reduce child mortality, improve maternal health, fight infectious disease, protect human habitat, and foster a global partnership for development. These eight goals were the unanimous choice of the UN General Assembly in 2000. These Millennium Development Goals were all to be achieved by the year 2015. But the world failed to achieve even one of them. It is for us now, you and me and everyone else, to highly resolve to stop contributing to the problem and start contributing to the solution. Take less. Give more. Leave more alone. Enough really is enough.
