The book Active Hope – How to Face the Mess We’re in without Going Crazy offers tools to face the world’s suffering and take action in service of life while maintaining balance.
Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone propose a journey to find and offer our unique contribution to the great planetary transformation, discover new inner strengths, open ourselves to a wider network of allies, and deeply experience our vitality.
– Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine
At the heart of this book is the idea that Active Hope is something we do rather than something we have. It involves being clear about what we hope for and playing our part in making it happen.
When our responses are guided by the intention to act for the healing of the world, the confusion we are in not only becomes easier to face, but our lives also become more meaningful and satisfying.
