Generation Care is the name of a book of 42 poems which ask the reader to imaging a world in which every person's primary motivation is to care. To care for themselves, to care for each other and to care for the planet.

The book is dedicated to the 'New Bottom Line' contained in Rabbi Michael Lerner's book 'Revolutionary Love'. The New Bottom Line proposes that businesses and institutions in the society replace the old bottom line of money and power with a new bottom line of care and compassion.
