World as Lover, World as Self: Courage for Global Justice and Planetary Renewal: Courage for Global Justice and Ecological Renewal

Joanna Macy is one of my most respected teachers. This is a radically beautiful work, raw and tender in equal measure, its poetry as deep and alive as its intellectual grounding. The book brims with reverence for Gaia and our shared ecological being, and generously offers the water to green our devotion and know the world both as lover and as self.

the thinking in this book is absolutely stunning. It's accessible, well structured and crafted to engage and inform poetically - It is a joy to read

It is Macy

Clearly written with exceptional sense of purposefulness and personal responsibility towards sharing a narrative of hope and action in a world of uncertainty and immediate dangers. The book calls one to action and self exploration and gives real examples through personal experiences, unique insights of the author and historic figures. This book is one that will be reread many times in my lifetime and one that has already compelled me gently to change the pattern of my days. Interdependency and connectiveness permeate every page as does our unique giftedness to chose, act share and change our world....all of it!!
