- Book Synopsis
- <p>"This book should be made mandatory world-wide for all heads of state."</p><p> Lissa Wolsak, Author of In Defense of Being.</p><p>"A Future to Believe In is a message the world needs to hear now!"</p><p> Bill McKibben, Author of Earth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet.</p><p>After four years in creation, Alan Clements brings us a visionary new book, A Future to Believe In: 108 Reflections On the Art and Activism of Freedom. In it he weaves the wisdom of hundreds of the world's most creative and courageous thinkers - artists, activists, scientists, and risk-takers - in with his own most compelling life-lessons, questions, and discoveries, from his forty-year long pursuit of truth and freedom - an epic journey of world travel, spiritual exploration, scholarly study and political activism, that has taken him from the sacredness of monastic silence deep into the dark heart of war zones.</p><p>An iconoclastic blend of radical cultural commentary, edgy political punditry and provocative life-inquiry, this field guide for revolutionaries, and a model for a new society, is designed to liberate the human spirit - igniting gutsy transformation in one's daily life and nonviolent political change around the world. Burma's Nobel Peace laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, with whom Clements co-authored the acclaimed book of conversations, The Voice of Hope, calls this global movement a revolution of the spirit or the awakening of a new language of freedom. By fearlessly fusing timeless spiritual values with nonviolent political actions, we can unite and co-create a future to believe in.</p><p>"Alan Clements' magnificent book provides a courageous and intelligent compass personifying our aspirations for freedom and wisdom, and in so doing, offers insights on how to shape a future that gives life hope; make this book your guide, mentor and friend."</p><p> Dr Helen Caldicott, Author of Nuclear Power is Not the Answer and If you Love this Planet, Founding President Physicians for Social Responsibility.</p><p>"In this radiant book is a new consciousness." Lowry Burgess, artist, professor, creator of the first official Non-Scientific Art Payload taken into outer space by NASA in 1989.</p><p>"This book provides the essential wisdom - the spiritual intelligence - to learn to listen to the planet, to life - the core intelligence of nature and the human heart."</p><p> Derrick Jensen, Author of Culture of Make Believe.</p><p>"A Future to Believe In is a treasure, not a mere book." Paul Hawken, Author of Blessed Unrest. </p><p>"At a time when the contemporary spiritual landscape has become dangerously gentrified and domesticated, Alan Clements restores us to our senses - wild and elemental. He summons the voices of those who, along side him, have not traded their souls for the market-driven need to be tame or acceptable, and points us to the wilderness of true, engaged, fiercely authentic awakening. This is why we are alive--to set freedom free, in ourselves and for others, in every aspect of our lives from the most mundane daily task, to the most profound political act."</p><p> Kelly Wendorf, author and editor Stories of Belonging</p><p>"This book is the music of wisdom, a dance with the finest places of the human heart. You will want to keep this timeless treasure within reach, so you can open it to any page, and let a paragraph or a line ignite you again to the truth of your own being."</p><p> Joanna Macy, Buddhist teacher, activist and author of World as Lover, World As Self.</p>
