we’re not organized to solve problems in our community. And our dreams aren’t big enough to change that, dan pallotta, 2008.

What if the whole way we’re set up to work together in our communities obstructs any hope of us ever solving problems at scale? Why doesn’t large-scale collaboration seem to work? Why do chronic problems with health indicators, poverty, economic inequality, illiteracy, and more persist, despite the efforts of the brightest minds in our communities.

When Your Moment Comes

A guide to fulfilling your dreams, jodere, 2001

"Reading this book was like having a conversation with a wise, loving friend who only wants the best for you. Dan Pallotta's inspiring words and stories have shown me what, on some deep level, I already knew -- that a 5 year plan is not the way to bliss but that discovering my calling allowing the Universe to support me in a natural way is. His section on "kindness" opened my heart and brought me to tears. I plan to give this book to all my nieces and nephews so that they will learn, early on, what success is really all about." - Amazon Review
