Deepening global crises surround us. We are beset by climate
change, fracking, tar sands extraction, GMOs, and mass extinctions
of species, to say nothing of nuclear weapons proliferation and
Fukushima, the worst nuclear disaster in history. Many of us fall
prey to despair even as we feel called to respond to these threats
to life on our planet.
Authors Joanna Macy and Molly Brown address the anguish
experienced by those who would confront the harsh realities of our
time. In this fully updated edition of "Coming Back to Life," they
show how grief, anger, and fear are healthy responses to threats to
life, and when honored can free us from paralysis or panic, through
the revolutionary practice of the Work that Reconnects. New
chapters address working within the corporate world, and engaging
communities of color as well as youth in the Work.
The Work that Reconnects has spread around the world, inspiring
hundreds of thousands to work toward a life-sustaining human
culture. "Coming Back to Life" introduces the Work's theoretical
foundations, illuminating the angst of our era with extraordinary
insight. Pointing the way forward out of apathy, it offers personal
counsel as well as easy-to-use methods for group work that
profoundly affect peoples' outlook and ability to act in the
world.
Joanna Macy is a scholar, eco-philosopher, teacher, activist,
and author of twelve previous books including "Coming Back to
Life."
Molly Young Brown is a teacher, trainer, counselor, and author
of four previous books on psychology and Earth-based
spirituality.
