One thing is clear: The mindset that sent much of the world into economic, environmental and social crisis is not the mindset that will fix our problems. Thomas Friedman, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Hot, Flat and Crowded, has great ideas about how we can think fresh, change our mindset, and create a better tomorrow. In his Portland lecture, Friedman talked about the themes in his new book and ways to create a more resilient future.
