Product Description
Does your life make global sense? Global Sense reveals the way the world really works and how a sense of our global oneness empowers us to change the world by changing ourselves. Uniting deep spirituality and personal growth with environmental awareness and grassroots politics, Global Sense brings our highest ideals down to earth where we can use them. The book explains in practical terms (with lots of examples) how we can build our world anew in the 21st century.
Award-winning author Judah Freed interweaves his own story with insights on the causes of today's global crisis, which he identifies as "alpha male rule" and "authority addiction." His solution for both individuals and society: "Mindful self rule and personal democracy." Because we all are globally interconnected, Freed proves, everything we think, feel, say and do impacts the world (by design or default), so we may as well live deliberately. Through our daily life choices, each of us can help build the momentum for a quantum shift of humanity into global enlightenment. Inspired by Thomas Paine's history-changing essay, Common Sense, Global Sense offers reasons for hope in these times that try our souls.
Note: This totally rewritten 2012 edition of Global Sense replaces all previous editions of the book, which has won annual awards as best personal growth book and best social change book along with being featured on C-SPAN BookTV. Praise for Global Sense:
"Global Sense is the handbook needed by the Occupy Wall Street movement."
- Jerry Ashton, The Huffington Post; author, Written Off: America & Americans
"Global Sense explodes the old myths that we are essentially evil, that hierarchy and dominance are natural law. Judah Freed reveals how ancient 'male rule' and 'authority addiction' restrain our innate power for self government. Democracy can work, he argues, when we are willing to do the personal and spiritual growth needed to manage our freedom and society responsibly"
- Thom Hartmann, author, Screwed, Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight
"Global Sense is about personal and social transformation, starting with the inner self feeling a genuine recognition of our rights and responsibilities. The book is a declaration of our global interdependence rooted in Gandhi's principle of personal sovereignty."
- Dr. Vandana Shiva, author, Stolen Harvest; Earth Democracy
"Thomas Paine rallied Americans to a new sense of themselves and their possibilities. Judah Freed does likewise for citizens of the planet."
- Bill McKibben, author, Deep Economy, The End of Nature, and Eaarth
"There is a hunger for this kind of integrative global perspective. I am extremely enthusiastic about the book!"
- Frances Moore Lappe, author, Diet For a Small Planet and EcoMind
"Modern culture struggles at the crossroads of reckless technology and the duty to uncover the spirit on which the healing of mankind rests. Global Sense helps us choose the path of healing."
- Malidoma Some, author, Of Water and the Spirit
"Judah Freed proposes a cultural/political Big Bang. He argues that we can best empower one another by empowering ourselves. The breakthrough idea of this important book is that with personal growth and global thinking, we can have both safety and liberty."
- Dave Wann, co-author, Affluenza; author, Simple Prosperity
"Judah Freed reminds us of the continuing relevance of American patriot Thomas Paine while transforming Paine's message of democracy and human rights into the spiritually-rich and psychologically-informed discourse of the 21st century."
- Rabbi Michael Lerner; author, The Left Hand of God; editor, Tikkun
"It makes 'global sense' to read Judah Freed's book, and then to act mindfully to make a difference in the world."
- Thomas Crum, author, The Magic of Conflict; Three Deep Breaths
"Read this book!"
- Pete Seeger, folk singer and activist
