AH: Well, I am profiling a lot of people who do that. They range from unemployed people like Seth Reams or unemployed people who are skilled-- lawyers and accountants-- helping people prevent foreclosure to very wealthy people like Susie Buffett, Warren Buffett's daughter, whom I write about in a section called Find your own Calcutta, who is using her money to rebuild Omaha, her hometown, you know. Whenever a problem occurs whether it's a library shutting down or preschool program shutting down she is there to help and I feel that this is just something for us to focus on instead of constantly focusing on our deficits and our shortages to focus on our surpluses. The surplus of skills, the surplus of time, and the surpluses of resources that we do have but we are not using.
RK: Okay. You've got an offer to give people a ride on the bus, the Huffington Post Sanity bus. [the Jon Stewart Rally to Restore Sanity].
AH: Yes, if there is anybody going from New York to Washington the Huffington Post is offering buses. And we have over 11 thousand people have signed up.
RK: Oh my God, 11 thousand. That's fabulous. Amazing.
[laughter]
AH: Maybe you'll come join us.
RK: Ah, I'm in the Philadelphia area. Are you going to send any from Philly?
AH: Well, who knows. Maybe that's the next thing.

Rob Kall has spent his adult life as an awakener and empowerer-- first in the field of biofeedback, inventing products, developing software and a music recording label, MuPsych, within the company he founded in 1978-- Futurehealth, and founding, organizing and running 3 conferences: Winter Brain, on Neurofeedback and consciousness, Optimal Functioning and Positive Psychology (a pioneer in the field of Positive Psychology, first presenting workshops on it in 1985) and Storycon Summit Meeting on the Art Science and Application of Story-- each the first of their kind.

Rob began his Bottom-up Radio show, broadcast on WNJC 1360 AM to Metro Philly, also available on iTunes, covering the transition of our culture, business and world from predominantly Top-down (hierarchical, centralized, authoritarian, patriarchal, big) to bottom-up (egalitarian, local, interdependent, grassroots, archetypal feminine and small.) Recent long-term projects include a book, Bottom-up-- The Connection Revolution, (more...)
