What do actress and biodiesel advocate Daryl Hannah, self-help guru Gary Zukav, Nobel Prize-winner Oscar Arias, and health advocate Kenneth R. Pelletier, Ph.D., M.D. (hc) have in common?

They’re all FLIPSTERS who, along with forty-four other well-known personalities, share their personal stories of transformation in The Flip: Turn Your World Around  by Jared Rosen and David Rippe.

What is a FLIPSTER? Any of the tens of millions worldwide who are making the choice to live consciously, in ways that sustain the earth and its peoples. FLIPSTERS refuse to feel harried, fearful, and powerless, and they don’t contribute to the global problems of pollution, war, greedy and unethical mega-corporations, scarcity of natural resources, and unhealthy food and media choices. Instead, they know it’s possible to be part of the solution by making smart, even life-saving changes in every area of their lives, from work, relationships, and home life to entertainment, food, transportation, and health choices. FLIPSTERS know that emotional and spiritual well-being, meaningful work, natural health, global prosperity, renewable natural resources, and feeling connected to others is possible. They understand that their individual choices affect the lives of everyone else. When you make THE FLIP, life makes sense again!

In The Flip, authors Rosen and Rippe offer an enthusiastic users’ manual with real-world examples of the simple changes that will make you aFLIPSTER. The Flip features visionary wisdom from luminaries in the fields of science, government, business, entertainment, and politics, including Nobel Peace Prize winner Oscar Arias, popular media icons Daryl Hannah and Ed Begley, Jr., health and wellness advocates Kenneth R. Pelletier, Ph.D., M.D. (hc) and Candace Pert, and best-selling authors with cumulative sales of more than 50 million books, including John Gray, Barbara De Angelis, Gary Zukav, John Robbins, Patricia Aburdene, and Byron Katie.

The Flip’s inspiring message is that individual choices do matter, and that these simple grassroots choices are already adding up to large-scale, lasting change. Let Rosen and Rippe show you just how easy it is to make THE FLIP!
