Visionaries and idealists are often dismissed as being, well, mad—stark-raving loonies. POSITIVELY M.A.D. turns such labels around—telling the stories of people who courageously pursued “crazy” ideas that challenged conventional thinking, re-imagined the way things could and should work, and, ultimately, made a difference. This compelling and moving guide to personal empowerment offers stories, advice, examples, and ideas that can be immediately applied in your own life.

Told by more than 50 of Berrett-Koehler Publishers' bestselling authors—renowned business, community, and thought leaders—these stories show how people around the world are creating positive change in their communities, despite the challenges of our times.

Written by more than 50 of Berrett-Koehler's renowned and bestselling authors, Postively M.A.D. is a collection of real-world stories that will inspire readers to take action in their own lives to make a difference in their organisations and communities

Provides inspiration and advice on a wide range of topics-from working with city hall to embracing diversity, capitalising on adversity and expressing gratitude.

Offers "mad" stories-about people, actions and ideas that are out-of-the-ordinary, unexpected, counter-intuitive, interruptive, defiant, offbeat, and/or "edgy." The goal of the book is not to be heart-warming, but rather to inspire readers to take action.
