 |  | Two protagonists, two public figures, face a new challenge together: to start the expression of a “collective thought”. To create an important book that will be a collection of the contributions and the reflections of many great people, icons that constitute the gotha of the world of values in order to promote, inform and delineate a new style of life for everyone, together. Lack of knowledge is at the root of the evils of the world but there still exists a great possibility of change.
It is important to heal the effects but, more than anything, it is important to cure the causes. | |
