Shari Arison – considered the most influential woman in Israel and the richest woman in the Middle East, the leader of a business empire that spans the globe and the head of the largest private philanthropic foundations in Israel – has been on a lifelong spiritual journey. And she has a message for each and every one of us. We can – and must – transform the world. And we must start right now.

In her new book, Birth – When the Spiritual and the Material Come Together, Shari Arison wants to share her revealing personal account of that arduous journey and a blueprint of her vision for the future.

As the global economy staggers on the brink of collapse and the earth hurtles towards a looming environmental disaster, Shari steps forward to tell us that we have the power within us to turn collapse into change, chaos into harmony, the old unworkable conventions into a new model for living that brings together the spiritual and the material to create a better, brighter future for all of humanity.
