Torin Finser takes on some of our contemporary challenges and
proposes new solutions. Rather than simply "kicking the can down
the road," as often happens with issues such as sovereign debts,
Middle East conflicts, and environmental issues, Finser calls for
individual initiative. Drawing on a variety of rich cultural and
spiritual traditions, he makes the case for social change that
begins within. To do so, one must first access resources that
support initiative and innovation. Key questions discussed in this
book include: * How is it possible to live a spiritual life in our
materialistic age? * Can an individual person still make a
difference? * How can we use a whole-systems approach to
innovation? * How can planetary wisdom help us find appropriate
leadership styles? * What are the inner conditions needed to work
with the transcendent Self? * In the swirl of multi-tasking, how
can we find moments of solitude and reflection? We need new, a
ethical individualism that is fully transformative. As quoted from
the Peace Pilgrim in chapter 2: This is the way of peace-overcome
evil with good, and falsehood with truth, and hatred with love.
Today's world needs people of initiative-those willing to become
the change that is so desperately needed. This book offers a wakeup
call for inspired leadership.
