Prescriptions for imaginative surviving in today’s noisy and ever-narrowing world

Our social conversation has gone awry. We are surrounded by sound and retreating to social networking bubbles. As discussions across ideological divides become more and more difficult, we as a society have to rethink what this means to listen, to think, to generate, and to end up being democratically engaged people. Fifteen Paths records the journey of the disillusioned business professor who came to realize that in order to transcend the noise, we need more imaginative expressions and fewer argumentative ones.

David Weitzner wanted the counsel of fourteen iconoclastic artists, including Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youngsters), Jeff Coffin (Dave Matthews Music group), Mike Mignola (Hellboy), Lydia Lunchtime, and Del the Funky Homosapien. The book offers fifteen concrete classes of action to reimagine a socially involved lifestyle and an afterword documenting the surprising outcome from the author’s personal trip.
