Sinopse

The greatest gift we can give to our children and the future of South Africa is our own healing.
While South Africa has moved beyond apartheid, it has not moved beyond racial polarisation. Virtually every problem we face in this country is influenced by our legacy of systemic racism and the psychological trauma it has caused to people of all races.
Racial healing is not a new, woke, talk shop. It is also not a 'how-to guide' for do-gooders. On the contrary, racial healing requires diverse people of all ages to embrace the unique and challenging complexity of racial diversity and to forge a human bridge between multiple opposing truths that can peacefully coexist.
Only a sober admission of this complexity can help us heal from the open, festering wound of ongoing racism, which has left South Africa with the unenviable distinction of being the most unequal country in the world. This wound is not unique to South Africa; it is also a driving force behind the violent conflicts seen around the globe.
Ian Fuhr and co-author Nina de Klerk have crafted a powerful examination of the deep-rooted causes of ongoing racial polarisation in South Africa and propose a road map towards racial healing. The book is enriched by contributions from influential collaborators across various sectors, who share their authentic and often emotive perspectives on racial healing.
The Human Bridge is an ambitious but achievable vision of the future. If people are willing to familiarise themselves with each other's life experiences and own up to their own fears and racial biases, to engage in authentic dialogue, South Africans can once again become an example to the rest of the world.

    Earl Shoaff (March 21, 1916 - September 6, 1965) was a motivational speaker and entrepreneur. Shoaff was very influential in the early life of inspirational speaker Jim Rohn. At the age of 25, Rohn heard a "laws of success" lecture given by Shoaff and went to work for him. Rohn’s later work helped launch or further the career of many others in the personal development industry, including Tony Robbins, Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy, and Jack Canfield. This recording is from a public lecture that Shoaff gave in the early 1950’s, and it is called “How To Become A Millionaire.”

    The aim of this report is to help us imagine a better common economic life, one which rewards allthe stakeholders in business, rather than privileging the shareholding few. Such a move can anddoes benefit people, planet and profit, but it will only do so when we move from a story fuelled byextraction to one formed by creation. The authors of this report work in politics, economics andmanagement, but are also trained in theology. As such they are steeped in the deep stories that haveshaped our economic, political and social life. A full consideration of these deeper ideas that underlyour institutions (for good and for ill) is necessary if we are to truly imagine a better way to conductour business and how we shape our economic policies.

    John Hope Bryant, successful self-made businessman and founder of the nonprofit Operation HOPE, says business and political leaders are ignoring the one force that could truly re-energize the stalled American economy: the poor. If we give poor communities the right tools, policies, and inspiration, he argues, they will be able to lift themselves up into the middle class and become a new generation of customers and entrepreneurs. 
    Raised in poverty-stricken, gang-infested South Central Los Angeles, Bryant saw firsthand how our institutions have abandoned the poor. He details how business loans, home loans, and financial investments have vanished from their communities. After decades of deprivation, the poor lack bank accounts, decent credit scores, and any real firsthand experience of how a healthy free enterprise system functions. 
    Bryant radically redefines the meaning of poverty and wealth. (It's not just a question of finances; it's values too.) He exposes why attempts to aid the poor so far have fallen short and offers a way forward: the HOPE Plan, a series of straightforward, actionable steps to build financial literacy and expand opportunity so that the poor can join the middle class. 
    Fully seventy percent of the American economy is driven by consumer spending, but more and more people have too much month at the end of their money. John Hope Bryant aspires to "expand the philosophy of free enterprise to include all of God's children" and create a thriving economy that works not just for the one percent or even the ninety-nine percent but for the one hundred percent. This is a free enterprise approach to solving the problem of poverty and raising up a new America.
