Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We're in Without Going Crazy by Joanna Macy, Chris Johnstone

5.0

This book is a must read for anyone who aspires to engage more with the great challenges that face us or who is seeking more motivation, compassion and articulation for the hard work they are doing to repair our world. The authors offer a wealth of advice and guidance on how to approach challenging work to repair each other and our planet in voices that are kind, realistic and wise. I think it is difficult to read this book and come out of it untransformed or uninspired. Their thoughts on the power of collaboration, passion and vision ring beautiful and true. I had gotten this out of the library but I ended up buying it so I could keep it as a reference- I expect and hope I will refer back to it on an ongoing basis.
