Will Marre, Leadership Expert, Reignites a New American Dream Focused on Creating a Sustainable Future For All in his book, Save the World and Still Be Home For Dinner
Will Marre, acclaimed leadership expert, contends that the new American Dream is based on creating a better future for all. Through socially strategic enterprise, and the business model of Good, Grow, Gain, the American Dream will thrive once again.

SAN DIEGO, CA, August 14, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The American Dream is taking new shape in a world longing for real change in the face of uncertainty, according to one criterion, Will Marre, leadership expert and author of Save the World and Still Be Home For Dinner (Capital Books, Sept. 2009). With a deflated economy, failed leadership, depleting resources and shattered expectations, Marre embraces the challenge of reinventing the American Dream based on collaboration and sustainable abundance rather than fierce competition and self-interest. In fact, according to Marre, often in the face of great challenges we find our greatest opportunities.

According to Marre, one of the great ethos of America is to be a world leader. He states, "We have always strived to save the world by being the great example of values, inventiveness and hard work. It has been the drumbeat of our culture. But we have lost our way."

In "Reclaiming Your American Dream" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWKEpyvAYME), the Emmy-award winning PBS learning documentary, Marre contends, "Jefferson's American Dream of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness was not just intentioned for a select elite class, but for every single person—the greatest happiness and least suffering for ALL." Marre asserts that the American Dream is, in fact, like John Nash's Nobel Prize winning equilibrium or Game Theory, which proves that the greatest good for all will actually produce the greatest good for every single person.

So how do we make the American Dream thrive again and create a sustainable future for all? This is the focus of Marre's book, Save the World and Still Be Home For Dinner. As he discusses, we must always do good first, in our personal lives and in our work lives. For business he introduces a model he calls Good, Grow, Gain. He states, "Good, Grow, Gain simply means that we think first of what we have to give, knowing that the more sustainable value we offer the world, the more we will responsibly Grow our enterprises and Gain the resources for everything we truly need." He continues, "By putting good first, we gain more than we ever thought possible."

Marre truly believes that the greatest opportunities of our time come from uncovering ways to benefit all of humanity through what he calls socially strategic enterprise. These are enterprises that will make money by saving the world through new innovation and services that reward employees, offer meaningful work and personal growth, benefit their communities, and improve the environment all at the same time. Marre states, "Our future depends on this kind of company. If you're not working for one, you might want to be. Or you might want to think about starting one. Or turning your current job into a socially strategic position."

While Marre understands the threatening circumstances we live in today, his message is not one of doom and gloom, but rather a call to action to embrace the original ideals of the American Dream once again. He gets executive and stay-at-home mom alike to rethink their part in a sustainable future. Marre is quoted in "Will Marre, American Dream expert, Rediscovers the American Dream" (http://www.prweb.com/releases/leadershipexpert/americandream/prweb2723664.htm): "The American Dream will only be reclaimed one dream at a time. Only when enough of us stand up for our real dreams of a sustainable future will the entire energy of our culture rise up to transform the world. Only our noble vision will save our future."
