The New Gullivers: Shaping the Mindscapes, Soulscapes and Landscapes of a New World

Davy Jones' Locker . Aladdin's Lamp . The Grand "Bizarre". what if all these adventures were just waiting for you to stumble upon in some as yet unexplored land far away - or maybe right in your own back yard?

In The New Gullivers, seasoned traveler, commentator and entrepreneur Stephen Banick cleverly bridges past and present by encouraging us to become "New Gullivers" - committed explorers of the "New World," the Age of Globalization. True travel, Banick tells us, is much more than hop-scotching over the latitudes and longitudes of Landscapes; it also requires navigating the contours of Mindscapes and Soulscapes.

Banick whets the reader's appetite for a whole feast of ambitious inner and outer opportunities for expanding our mental, physical and spiritual horizons. In a world ever-more defined by colliding tectonic plates and crashing tsunami waves, he appeals to the secret desire of "Everyman" to Feel better, Have more, and Be more.

States Banick: "The gullibility of the original Gulliver won't serve us in this New World. Still, those dragons on the horizon often turn out to be mirages - even, friends." In this first of seven cleverly wrought books that comprise an introduction to The Gulliver Project, Banick & Co. will be there to make sure you've packed your duffle bags with everything you'll need. Like Archimedes, he challenges us to "lift the world" by first changing ourselves; and he remind us that we have everything we need to make this daunting age "The Best of Times."
