Restoring our World Soul

Creating a World that Works for Every One

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What to do to set our world right again? The author posits that it's less about getting it "right" and more about standing back long enough, to "see" together what at the core of our global noise is agitating and demanding our attention. Getting at the root of these disturbances, we can move past the posturing and the grabs for power, and get serious about preserving the inalienable "Rights of Life" (that is, liberty, meaning, dignity, and realization of potential) that all world peoples possess. We can create conditions within which the ideals of equality, justice, and peace can progressively be made real in our world. Creating such conditions is possible, in proportion to our will to re-position, to get out front, and to implant the less divisive "sensibilities of soul" into the heart of our global politic, and into the very soil of our nations. Approaching our historical dilemmas through the lens of these sensibilities (identified in the book), and convening our United Nations around their demands, our recycling and projections of fear can be calmed. There is indeed a way to get beyond the politics of "right" and to turn the tide on problems that remain stubbornly resistant to clinical, religious, and military intervention. 100% of proceeds go to Tashinga Women Trust, an apolitical, independent, economic initiative for women in Zimbabwe.

Autorenporträt

Making psychology and theology relevant to how and what we live is my passion and my Life Work. As a depth psychologist, I listen for what aims to move in the life of the person before me. I celebrate the out-of-the-box thinker/researcher/young therapist in the classroom. As a global psychologist, I hear the deeper questions that our global disturbances expose; I use a creative and developmental lens to help us respond to these existential questions in practical ways. I challenge my self and my profession to stay relevant to what it requires to lead on these questions. I write to share what I am learning, trusting that facing our questions together will ignite deep conversation about what matters to us and how we can come together to shape the world we care about.
