Lost: our shared sense of purpose


"America is at a precipice. Sitting still is not an option. Our problems, while not hopeless, are urgent. And they require rediscovering something fundamental that we have lost: our shared sense of purpose..."

This is from the preface of a new book, "Adrift" by William Harris and Stephen Beschloss. Bill is CEO of Science Foundation Arizona.

The book is receiving strong praise from a wide spectrum of elected officials, analysts, academics, and business leaders.

I'm excited that Bill has put together his thoughts and vision. I've heard him speak to numerous groups and been in strategy sessions with him. I want to read this book.
