Synopsis

“Explorers look to the world for understanding; philosophers look inward. It is rare to find an explorer and a philosopher in one mind. Terry Clayton has proven to be just that, with his new memoir, Facing the Moment. Part travel memoir, part philosophical treatise, entirely compelling, inspiring, and a pleasure to read, this work is a powerful testament to a life devoted to living, learning and education. Bravo!” Garth Stein, Author #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Racing in the Rain

Terry Clayton spent a lifetime navigating global adventures while discovering truths about humanity’s perennial effort to survive and thrive in an ever-changing world. With the insight of a historian, the tenacity of a teacher, and the curiosity of a seeker, he brings readers through the real-world experiences that woke him to the relationship between cultural history, politics, power and social policies; evolution, technology, and the environment; economics, globalization and the consciousness required for our future survival. Over a period of 60 years, Clayton traveled to 149 countries, exploring cultures. His realizations became the bedrock for his theory on the dynamics of social change.

In this engaging memoir, he shares information intended to awaken and inspire humanity poised on the precipice of an uncertain and threatening future. Clayton unveils the context of social conditions that serve as persistent obstacles and the creative opportunities born of a willingness to face them squarely. He writes candidly to those with serious concerns about local and global events but a limited vision of how they can make a difference, all while instilling a sense of vision and hope.
