An 'unstoppable movement': Blessed Unrest, by Paul Hawken

I cannot quite agree with Paul Hawken's whole title. There've been plenty of important things going on in the world which certain people deliberately, repeatedly and over generations, have chosen not to see. Their so-called 'coping' mechanism??? Hawken's Blessed Unrest (How the World's Largest Movement Came into Being and Why No One Saw It) "explores the diversity of the social justice, peace, and environmental movement, its brilliant ideas, innovative strategies, and hidden history, which date back many centuries. A culmination of Hawken's many years of leadership in the environmental and social justice fields, it will inspire and delight any and all who despair of the world's fate, and its conclusions will surprise even those within the movement itself. Fundamentally, it is a description of humanity's collective genius, and the unstoppable movement to reimagine our relationship to the environment and one another. ..." (Comment via The Cleanse.com)

"The effect of life in society is to complicate and confuse our existence, making us forget who we are by causing us to become obsessed with what we are not." - Chuang-Tzu, second leader of Taoism

Also, as a result of Paul's research for Blessed Unrest, his staff at NCI created WiserEarth (www.wiserearth.org), an online tool dedicated to serving the social and environmental movement Paul describes. People should make sure their favorite organizations are represented on there and that they are linked other organizations they partner with. This will do a lot for helping us understand how we are all connected.
