Produktbeschreibung
The most important national election in U.S. history is underway. Marianne Williamson stepped-up to show she is confident to be president of the United States in 2020. She had to step down. Many people are supportive of her provocative healing vision for America, and that fan and voter-base is growing. She may run again in 2024. However, many are puzzled by her and many are critics on the Left and Right and in between. The book is a thorough case study of Williamson's speeches, writings, and interviews. It documents and analyzes the thoughts and feelings of her supporters and critics based on what they have written, performed, and published. It records history while it is being made. The author offers support and criticism of how Williamson's leadership and her team could have done things different so as to be more successful in the presidential campaign. The big idea throughout the book is to emphasize, as does Williamson's teaching, that spirituality and politics ought never be separated completely (as religion and the State), if we truly desire more than mere reforms of society, but desire a transformation to a truly better and more liberated world. The book highlights productive guideposts for Williamson and other leaders like Williamson in future campaigns. It offers Americans, and others, a view of "what happened" in 2019-20 that made Williamson an outstanding phenomenon. Students, scholars, journalists, politicians, and the general public interested in the improvement of politics will want to study this book.

Rezensionen
"Once again, Dr. Fisher, passionately and masterfully focuses his critical lens as an expert on the effects and affects of fear and terror on human development, cultural evolution and their intersection with contemporary politics. His manner and courageous style is revealing and prescient. It is 2020 and humanity is facing the COVID-19 pandemic and Americans are going to the polls to decide on re-electing a president who utilizes and weaponizes fear, mistrust, and uncertainty to achieve his political goals. In this well-researched study, Fisher's gripping narrative exposes the places Marianne Williamson, the spiritual guru and once presidential hopeful with her politics of love, was (and still is) the perfect juxtaposition for creating a phenomenon to match a phenomenon-respectively, Fear vs. Love. Fisher skillfully utilizes this archaic philosophical battleground in a seminal work, bringing forward the much-needed freshness of systems thinking and integral philosophy (à la Ken Wilber) to provide a reasoned, wise, and enduring answer to the question: 'What is going on in American culture and politics during these chaotic times?' Reading and absorbing this erudite book opened several 'Red Pill' moments for me. As Marcel Proust wrote 100 years ago, 'The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes,' and Dr. Fisher's new book opened my eyes anew in preparation for 2020 and all that will unfold beyond it." -Dan McKinnon, Ph.D. (Education), Registered Psychologist, Calgary, AB, Canada…mehr
