From big cities to small communities the best ideas come from local leaders and institutions working directly with the people. As the home of big ideas, New America will bring together the most innovative thinkers and doers from coast to coast for our 2015 Annual Conference.
With keynotes by Senator Cory Booker and Governor John Kasich, the conference will feature a fast-paced lineup of conversations, panels, and refreshing vignettes offering a broad view on how America is transforming to keep pace with technological and societal changes. Other participants include New America staff, fellows, and board members, as well as government, social, and business leaders working at the forefront of innovation.

This is a required reading for my college course in a Psych class. I love it so much! Starting the paper on it later today. Much gratitude 🙏⭐️
As a 74 year old retired nurse, my husband was admitted to Hospice last week. He has copd and stage 5 renal failure. I have major heart problems. I am having another heart surgery so that i will be able to care for my husband. Without the surgery i may die before him. We've both been angry and depressed. Life for us has become very complicated and difficult.
Excellent information to sensitize our students who work with elderly clients
Just Love your book

Chronic illness is not unfixable. Do a Ted talk on that doc.

I don't think he specified exactly what kind of illness, and since more people suffer from chronic rather then terminal, I assumed the former. Besides, chronic illness will eventually kill you anyway. I'm studying medicine and I personally dont think the majority of any illness is uncurable, even cancer. There are cases of serious genetic defects, traumatic injury, extraordinary infection and outstanding lifestyle factors, but those are the minority.

You miss the point completely! In the 21st century medicine can resurrect the living dead but the talk evaluates the benefit and the reality of living without quality of life.
