But more than a wake-up call, it is a confidence-booster. For many of us secretly knowour power. So this book shares the experiences of ordinary people who have changed the world, so that we can see the path and travel it ourselves. This is the path, the journey of (me)volution. (me)volution is a model of how ordinary people go from having a great, powerful ideaabout changing something, to building a movement that actually changes it.
