Reading this book, you will be inspired, in Dr. Roberts's words, to 'think beyond the ordinary." > "Terrence Roberts challenges all of us to make the world more inclusive by adjusting our 'mental maps.' He reminds us that we will not achieve that long-sought beloved community until we recognize the value of each individual-until we affirm each other.
