Social Change 2.0: A Blueprint for Reinventing Our World
"We all know we need to change our social systems but rarely realize the means for this change lies unrealized in us all. David's genius lies in knowing how to access the possibilities each one of us holds and his book is a guide to awakening these possibilities and helping us shift our society to be truly sustainable for the next seven generations."--Gregor Barnum, Director of Corporate Consciousness, Seventh Generation"This book is a practical and inspiring roadmap to the more just, sustainable and peaceful future we all know is possible. I know of no one more experienced to create such a roadmap than David Gershon, who has spent the past 30 years empowering individuals and communities, as well as business and government leaders. I have looked forward to this book for some time to gain a deeper understanding of how David has initiated so much positive change and created so many innovative strategies to help people achieve their visions for a better world."--Hazel Henderson, author,Ethical Markets: Growing the Green EconomyandBuilding A Win-Win World"Powerful! Gershon writes from the front lines of social change with practical information flowing off the pages. Like a social change superhero, he demonstrates on every page the power of living with a no limitations philosophy, showing us how we, too, can be the architects of a brighter future for our world. This book will influence every project I take up in my life. I now know there is a pattern language for how to make social change happen."--Craig Hamilton, founder of IntegralEnlightenment.com, former editor ofWhat Is Enlightenment?magazine."David Gershon is one of the most accomplished social innovators alive today. This timely book offers the rare gift of proven and transferable solutions that can be applied to a wide range of problems confronting humanity. I have seen and experienced firsthand the effectiveness of this social change model. If you wish to change the world, I cannot recommend this book too highly!"--Michael Dowd, author ofThank God for Evolution: How the Marriage of Science and Religion Will Transform Your Life and Our World
