‘Mark Gerzon’s book is an intellectual tour de force, in highly acces- sible language, to take us through what being “global” means and how we can act differently for the great good’
— Christine Loh, CEO, Civic Exchange, Hong Kong

‘Whether you are American, German, Chinese, Indian, South African, or Indonesian, you are also a “citizen of the world”. Mark Gerzon explores the realities and opportunities that lie behind that phrase, and provides the tools that can help each of us build a platform for thinking and acting powerfully as global citizens.’

— Bill Ford, international business consultant and former Head of Department of Organizational Behavior, University of New South Wales, Australia

‘Global Citizens argues very powerfully that a safer world will not come from building barriers but from building bridges of trust with others. Mark Gerzon provides a realistic, practical and optimistic strategy for moving from fear and paranoia towards strust and con- structive engagement.’
