Top 10 Questions for 2008… Plus One!

Fifteen hundred people in 39 countries participated in suggesting and selecting the following ten questions as the most important ones in the world today. These are our concerns expressed not as demands but as the questions we must all consider at every level of life to meet the challenges of our times.

Conversation Week 2008 gives us a chance to talk with friends, neighbors and strangers about one or more of these questions – and discover answers that can re-direct our lives and work, while knowing that sincere people on the other side of the planet are doing the same.
