Finally, in the last part of the book consisting of chapter 7, we conclude our discourse with an examination of how major global issues such as climate change, poverty, and material inequalities are not only caused by human occupational performance, but also can be resolved through change in such performance.

This can be achieved by helping people achieve optimum meaning in their lives by changing their occupational behavior in such a way as to contribute to amelioration of these issues, and in the process to experience themselves as contributing to a cause that is larger then them (in the process, helping them achieve a sense of transcendence through occupational performance).
