Author of Creating a World That Works for All

Dr. Sharif Abdullah is an author and advocate for inclusivity, societal transformation and societal spirituality. Sharif's life vision and mission are simple: we can create a world that works for all beings.

Sharif believes we must release the status quo and transform our toxic political, economic and social/cultural systems and structures.

Sharif promotes heart-centered inclusivity, compassionate dialog, and a society based on visionary, localized and alternative economics and politics. His vision and work are informed by his spiritual awareness, his growing up with racism and generational poverty, and his later inclusivity experiences in over 100 distinct cultures, spanning 36 countries.

His books include The Power of One: Authentic Leadership in Turbulent Time, the award-winning Creating a World That Works for All, and the visionary Seven Seeds for a New Society.

Sharif has degrees in psychology and law. He is a graduate-level adjunct professor of Conflict Resolution at Portland State University. He is founder and director of the Commonway Institute for Societal Transformation.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
