About this title: A sociologist and a psychologist identify a distinct segment in American society which they call the "Cultural Creatives"--exploring their lifestyles, income, education, values, habits, etc. with a clear implication that they are a somewhat influential, and highly marketable, force to be valued and tracked. Cultural Creatives have been influenced by movements of activism, community, and personal growth, and may have formerly been labeled as or lumped into "New Age." The authors remove that inaccurate, and limiting, pejorative, and move them from the fringe towards the center.

"Interesting cultural breakdown into Traditionals, Moderns, and Cultural Creatives. Moderns being consumer/career focused and Traditionals wanting to return to "old ways" or their perception of what use to exist. Cultural creatives look forward and are what we are evolving towards, I am there!"
"Because of this ground-breaking book, published in 2000, there are now Cultural Creative groups all over the country. More important is the impact this -- heretofore -- largely unnoticed group of as many as 50 million people (the Cultural Creatives) are having on society and social movements, the economy, new products, even possibly the 2008 election. As the authors state, "Values are the single best indicator of behavior."
Paul Ray and Sherry Ruth Anderson's book takes years of research on these under-the-radar Americans and brings to life their lifestyle, interests, backgrounds and how they are subtly, but fundamentally, changing our society.
The book is not only informational but, at times, transformational. What could have been a dry treatise is exceptionally well- written with inspirational case histories interspersed throughout. It's a very interesting and entertaining read.
I not only recommend this book, I have given it to several others and have used much of it as the basis for the marketing of a socially-conscious real estate project."
"i think the authors missed the boat here--it's not simply that the cultural creatives are changing the world--but HOW are they co-opting power in the name of "good work". who are these cultural creatives? white, middle to upper class, vegetarian, yoga practicing, trader joes shopping, well-educated...etc., etc. (read bobos in paradise for an ironic description.) the concept that these "cultural creatives" are somehow a tiny segment of the population is absurd. i truly believe that this book begs the question--what kind of cultural capital are these "creatives" creating for themselves? are they the new supremacists of culture? and, what of the other several billion who "are not changing the world"? what of them? and, are these well-meaning npr listening/reusable cloth bag toting people creating a cult of the creative--a class shift built to exclude those who are not non-profiteers? how can we read this book without seeing the blatant issue of class! i ask these questions because i certainly fit into the "cultural creative" category--but i take no pride in it. not until i see definitively how this class of people does no harm in the greater power struggle of class conflict."
"I'm really enjoying what I'm learning about this large and largely unknown segment of the U.S. population. As one of them it's encouraging to realize how many of us there are. It may be that the election of Barack Obama is one of the first signs of how much potential impact Cultural Creatives can have when acting in concert."
