We're in one of the most delicately poised eras we've ever known. Individuals have the power to destroy large parts of the world we live on – and entire societies – at the push of a button. As a species, we're pushing the Earth's ability to sustain us to the point where many scientists have serious concerns. Climate change is a major issue. Perhaps our generation will survive, but what of the next? At the same time, the possibilities are enormous, and are increasing every day. Technology is bringing us all closer together. A single voice can now be heard by millions world-wide, regardless of where it originates. An idea that might once have been lost can sweep the world in moments. That idea might give rise to a change affecting all of civilization for generations to come – or it might make a single person laugh for just a moment. The goal of this site is to help generate that change by providing a sort of framework. It’s about understanding our place in society. It’s about understanding our responsibilities, and giving us the tools we need to meet those responsibilities. It’s about lifestyle. Living well. And by this, I don’t mean the simple accumulation of wealth (although that’s certainly one part of the equation). I mean having the ability to live in a way that’s in harmony with yourself, with the Earth, and with the society we live in. It’s about personal development, in a way, but with an end-goal in mind that’s beyond individuals. Call it Societal Development. Being the best you can be not only for your own well-being, but for the well-being of those around you. The people you meet every day. Your family. Children. Grandchildren. And any future generation to come. It’s about being happy, and encouraging happiness in others. In the current format, this website is new. I’ve produced few articles as yet, but have many rattling about in my head, ready to come out. The topics are likely to include:
Who is Brian Phillips?Brian Phillips is a writer, an entrepreneur, and a man who has enormous respect for humanity. You can learn more about him on the About page. FeedbackAs indicated above, this website has recently gone through some major changes. It used to be a static site devoted to advertising a novel I wrote. It’s now a vehicle for communicating ideas I feel passionately about, and I hope it will do that very well. That said, if you have any feedback on how this site could be improved, please let me know. I can’t promise to make every change suggested, as I might have specific reasons for doing it the way I have. Also, I’m managing the site by myself, and my technical skills are only just good enough to get me by. I’m much more of a writer than a web-geek. However, if certain themes start to emerge, and if I have time to figure out how to make the changes suggested, then I’ll do my best. By all means, let me know if you don’t like the colors or if you’ve noticed a spelling mistake. Those sorts of suggestions can only be helpful. But even more useful would be ideas designed to help get my messages out more easily. Technology widgets that I might not have heard about. Marketing ideas. An angle for a new article. Whatever you think might help. Use the form on the Contact page. And don’t feel you have to limit yourself to the types of feedback I’ve mentioned above. It’s a contact form. Use it to contact me. |
