freedom and agency to pursue our dreams? What if there was a way out of the isolation and
polarization that so many of us find ourselves in, toward authentic connections with others,
across all divisions and borders? What if we lived in a world that revolved around quality of life,
rather than economic winners and losers?
In Person to Person, Joeri Torfs and Pim Ampe describe this world and chart a clear path
toward it. Grounded in research and rooted in reality, the world they describe is neither a utopia
nor a fantasy. Person to Person presents an environment that incentivizes goodness, fairness,
sustainability, and freedom. It begins with the individual and moves toward our collaborative
relationships. Finally, Person to Person proposes a financial environment that would enable this
Quality of Life world to flourish—one that is already underway.
Alongside the book’s theory, we meet Jake, Leon, Lana, and Alex: four fictional college students
who illustrate the Person to Person concepts as they interact in their dorm rooms and on
campus. Their narratives remind readers that all of us—in spite of our pitfalls, in view of our
potential—have the power to make a better world that is richly satisfying, deeply connected, and
truly free.
