Book - Active Hope

Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone

The world faces social and ecological challenges that can be overwhelming to think about. Active Hope shows us how to strengthen our capacity to face this crisis with resilience and creative power. Drawing on decades of teaching the empowerment approach, Work That Reconnects, the authors guide us through a transformational process informed by mythic journeys, modern psychology, spirituality, and holistic science.

Softcover, 5x8, 288pp., 2012.

Books about social and ecological change too often leave out a vital component: how do we change ourselves so that we are strong enough to fully contribute to this great shift? Active Hope fills this gap beautifully, guiding readers on a journey of gratitude, grief, interconnection, and, ultimately, transformation.
