  Danielle Steel is the fourth-best-selling fiction author of all time! It is estimated 800 million copies of her work has been sold!  I’ve written 161 books (I’m published in 69 countries and 43 languages), which seems like a lot, even to me.

And it’s a plan for how, if we keep our heads, we might just be able to flip the script and arrive at a radically better future.” –From the Introduction
