Publisher's Synopsis
Born into modest circumstances in the Netherlands, Fred Matser went on to make millions heading one of the largest real-property development companies in Europe. Following an extraordinary transcendental experience, Matser set himself on a journey of personal discovery. His global travels opened his heart and mind to the needs of humanity and he has since spent his life founding charities and supporting existing organisations dedicated to improving the fields of health, awareness, social change and the environment. Weaving humorous anecdotes with heartrending tales of personal transformation and hope, this is an inspirational tale of one man's efforts to right the world's wrongs. More than just a memoir, this book contains a practical section based around Matser's, 'Twelve Strategies to Help You Survive the Modern World' - the theme of his increasingly popular talks in the U.S. and Europe. With inspiring contributions from many well-known individuals, including Caroline Myss, Jane Goodall, Patch Adams, Gerry Jampolsky and Matthew Fox who share their dreams for the future of the planet. The book is designed to work as an inspirational 'self-help' manual inviting the reader to 'wake up' and to co-create for a better world.
