OK - finished Ishmael. Thought-provoking and full of great wisdom. Inspirational? Not sure -- in order to be inspirational, IMO, a book has to get you motivated to make a change. To Quinn's credit, he acknowledges that the mess our world is in right now is too vast for one person or a handful of people to change. He puts it in so many words, specifically mentioning Donald Trump as an example of one very powerful individual who would be utterly powerless to single-handedly make a change in the situation.
Momentum seems to be the key here. If each person spread the word to 100 others...in time, the change could come about, just as it did in Russia and Eastern Europe.
So...
...if you're reading this, and you think the earth is headed for doom, read Ishmael.
