Product Description
Product Description
Dare to Care, a collection of ideas and initiatives to change finance as we know it, is a platform for global citizens to work together and maneuver through the world economic and financial crisis. The ideas presented within-of changing our mindset from a money-first to a care-first attitude-are meant to stimulate thoughts about our current monetary system and economy and how we truly want them to function. Author Louis Böhtlingk presents a workable method for us to change the way we think and feel about money, using it instead to support our fellow man, the Earth, and the gifts we all receive through each other and our planet. Dare to Care stresses that with a care-first approach, money can support our efforts to create a better world without greed or fear of going without. Böhtlingk shares his vision for a love-based economy and a care-first world, using examples of businesses, organizations, communities, and individuals who have made this approach work for them and those they serve. Dare to Care encourages readers to approach finance and economics from a new perspective, one which urges them to reorganize their own approach to money and empowers them to act and achieve a care-first worldview. "In my 25 years as an entrepreneur, there has been a rule to keep one's heart out of business decisions. Dare to Care boldly disrupts this rule with a vision of finance and economics that integrates heart and mind, left and right brain, and weaves hard economic facts with lyrical poetry. It highlights thriving businesses, banks, and non-profits which employ Care-First vs. Money-First as a long overdue pathway to true sustainability for all people of the world." -Leslie Danziger, Co-founder and former Chairman of Solaria Corporation, USA "Louis Böhtlingk has given us a clear way to create a renewed sense of how to assess the tools we have and our needs. The poetry of Dare to Care is a personal policy that should become the basis of a newly defined economic policy for all. How do we turn it into a new course book for candidates seeking Economic PhD degrees?" -Michaela Walsh, President/Founder of Women's World Banking, USA LOUIS BÖHTLINGK is a visionary who has worked as a counselor for more than 30 years. With his wife Sandra, he has created multiple platforms with which to address the money issues that individuals and companies experience. Louis is also the creator of the "Meeting the Mystery of Money" workshop, which has been held throughout the U.S., the U.K., and the Netherlands and helps individuals to reorganize their finances and lives with a care-first approach.

Futurist Hazel Henderson called for a Love Economy in the 60s, The Beatles immortalised 'All You Need is LOVE',John Lennon's 'Imagine' showed his vision of a fairer world for everyone based on LOVE. The'Occupy' movements in 2011 prove Louis Bohtlingk's 'Dare to Care' is a perfectly timed synchronicity, showing us how we can Create this all-inclusive, caring, sharing world by putting Care First into all our transactions around money(Care being Love in Action,surely the way to peace on earth). His beautiful descriptions of the Love Based Economy beginning in the Garden with all Nature's Gifts (without which we couldn'nt survive & to which we are ALL entitled). Sound too good to be true? Read it & feel how Louis's words resonate, catalysing some deep inner knowing in your heart that what he suggests truly is possible; We just need enough of us to read this book & understood that WE CAN consciously co-create the Care First Financial Systems & Love based Economy Louis envisions. Everyone is invited to give their feedback, suggestions & ask questions to ensure there is all-inclusive dialogue with everyone heard. This new Care First World is created by us, for us, all life & Mother Earth herself who sustains us all. The more of of us getting involved, the faster these changes can be realised!

An Economy Based on Care
3 Nov 2011
Format:Paperback
Louis Bohtlingk's new book, Dare to Care, takes economy out of the "money first" world and puts it squarely into a "care first" world. Louis worked with Hazel Henderson to develop an outline that builds an economy that recognizes that every time money changes hands, it represents an energetic sharing between the two parties. If that exchange is based on fear, greed, possessiveness, selfishness, or a desire for power, it creates a negative experience. If the exchange is based on love and recognizes the dignity and spirit embodied in the universe, then the exchange is a win-win experience, and builds a positive and sustainable economic future.
Congrats to Louis for daring to go where few men would dare to tread ... into a world built on love. His book redefines one's encounters with money into a positive experience that can enrich the life of the planet by enriching the lives of those it touches.

Money as Care First
21 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
In Dare to Care, A Love-Based Foundation for Money and Fiance by Louis Bohtlingk, foreword by Hazel Henderson (2011) Louis, his wife Sandra, and their friend Gabriella Kapfer, the founders, are living and teaching the principle that money is for them, and can be for all of us, an expression of care, that is, of love in action. They've developed a two day intensive called Meeting the Mystery of Money as well as several initiatives which, in their experience, enrich all participates. While they don't know how this realization in their lives can be realized at the global level, they live in the conviction that it not only can be, but will be. This is a beautiful testament to the need for transformation in our relationship to money and a path that they've proven by traveling it together.
