Introduction
As part of our effort to spread the meme of thrivability, we are producing a collaborative thrivability booklet. The "book" will be viewable in 3 formats. Much like Seth Godin's What Matters Now, it can be read as a slideshow or as a pdf. Additionally, it will be an interconnected web of pages, where any page of the book can be commented on, by anyone.
We will produce a blog space, with a live event at sxsw to promote the book March 12-16.
Collaborators choose a word or phrase that resonates strongly for them. For each, it is a small project, and together it is collectively something powerful we can share.
Our contributors are from widely different fields - from social entrepreneurship to philanthropy, from deep tech space to community activism, from neuroscience to labor and economic history, from social network analysis to storytelling. I do expect the viewers and participants to be a wide range of people. Additionally, contributors are from a vast array of places in the world from Stockholm, Brussels, and London to Thailand, Australia, and Uganda, and include Seattle, San Fransciso, Portland, NYC, Los Angeles, Houston, Cleveland, Chicago, and Boston. From noted acedmics to get-your-hands-dirty entrepreneurs, from scientists to the tree-climber next door, we are connecting them together to lay out the general topography of a thrivable world.
We are seeking sponsors to get it launched. Once launched people can contribute to pay forward other thrivable projects. Sponsors will be listed prominently in the book and on the website.
