Books with approaches for our situation
Two books that might be useful.
1. "Coming Back to Life" by Joanna Macy and Molly Brown (2014).
Book Description:
"Deepening global crises surround us, causing many to fall prey to denial and despair. "Coming Back To Life" shows how grief, anger and fear are healthy responses to the harsh realities of our time, and that when honored throught the revolutionary practice of the Work That Reconnects, they can free us from paralysis and move us toward creative action.
"This new, completely updated edition of the classic text illuminates the extraordinary Work that has inspired hundreds of thousands to make strides towards the creation of a life-sustaining human culture."
2. "Who Do We Choose To Be?" Margaret J. Wheatley, (forthcoming: June, 2017).
Quote from this article about the book:
"We need leaders now because we have failed to implement what was known to work, what would have prevented or mitigated the rise of hatred, violence, poverty and ecological destruction. We have not failed from a lack of ideas and technologies. We have failed from a lack of will. The solutions we needed were already here.
"Now it is too late. We cannot solve these global issues globally. We can see them clearly. We can understand their root causes. We have evidence of solutions that would have solved them. But we refused to compromise, to collaborate, to persevere in resolving them as an intelligent, creative species living on one precious planet."
