'Danny's story is one of a boy who fled war to build a new life in a new country as the only brown kid his schoolmates had met, a scholar who travelled on to yet more new countries, and who went on to lead several of the most important organisations working to change the world, but never forgot where he came from. In this book, Danny connects his personal story with society's collective story of who we are and who we can be. He provides a beacon that lights up our confidence that we can shift power to the people and helps guide us on our way'
Winnie Byanyima, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations
'Danny is a civil society leader with the integrity and experience to write about protecting civic freedoms, renewing democracy and delivering the Sustainable Development Goals. We need this message at such a difficult time for the rule of law at the international level'
Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland and Chair of The Elders
'This wise, warm and worldly book calls on us to reimagine our democracies and democratize our economies. It's time - so dive in!'
Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics
