Synopsis Despite conflicting dilemmas that contend with the idea of co-existence in a globalized world, individuals continue to reaffirm that minds are shaped not by footprints on the sands of time, but by what each one of us, as a unique person, experiences on the shores of life. Shaping Minds showcases how individual viewpoints and personal encounters with life and art transcend dramatically distressing mindsets that have become immune to the clash of communities, cultures and civilizations. This pioneering anthology brings together poets, writers, peace corps volunteers, human rights activists, religious historians, public-health experts, medical doctors, nursing professionals, a Jungian-oriented astrologer and a professional dancer besides distinguished academics and scholars hailing from diverse racial, cultural, gender, social-class, and religious groups from various continents of the globe. These extremely insightful twenty nine narratives, multicultural in flesh and spirit, have their focus on panaceas that individuals create to envisage a world where it is indeed possible to build bridges of love and understanding between wandering islands.
