Editorial Reviews

Review

Global Sense calls the people of the world to a vision of peace and self rule. Freed makes his case that in this time of global unrest, we the people must begin a new way of thinking and acting.
ForeWord Magazine

There is a hunger for this kind of integrative global perspective. I am extremely enthusiastic about the book.
- Frances Moore Lappe, author of Diet For a Small Planet, Democracy's Edge

Global Sense is about personal and social transformation, starting with the inner self feeling a recognition of our rights and responsibilities... based on the ideas of independence rooted in Gandhi's principle of personal sovereignty. The book is a declaration of interdependence.
Dr. Vandana Shiva, author, Stolen Harvest; Earth Democracy

Freed proposes a cultural/political Big Bang.... The essay argues that we can best empower each other by empowering ourselves... The breakthrough idea of this important book is that with personal growth and global thinking, we can have both safety and liberty.
Dave Wann, co-author, Affluenza; author, Simple Prosperity

Freed asked himself, what would Thomas Paine write if he were alive today? The result is a provocative, inspiring essay that offers fresh hope for liberty. Global Sense presents practical ideas for changing the political landscape and reviving Thomas Jefferson's dream of real democracy.
Thom Hartmann , Air America; author, The Last Days of Ancient Sunlight, What Would Jefferson Do?

Thomas Paine rallied Americans to a new sense of themselves and their possibilities. Judah Freed does likewise for citizens of the planet.
- Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy, The End of Nature

Judah Freed reminds us of the continuing relevance of American patriot Thomas Paine while transforming Paine's message of democracy and human rights into the spiritually-rich and psychologically-informed discourse of the 21st century.
Rabbi Michael Lerner; author, The Left Hand of God, Spirit Matter; editor of Tikkun Magazine

Modern culture struggles at the crossroads of reckless technology and the duty to uncover the spirit on which the healing of mankind rests. Global Sense helps us choose the path of healing.
Malidoma Some, author, Of Water and the Spirit

It makes 'global sense' to read Judah Freed's book, and then to act mindfully to make a difference in the world.
Thomas Crum, author, The Magic of Conflict; Three Deep Breaths

The book is fascinating, and certainly useful.
Joanne Greenberg, author, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden

Global Sense is an awesome work that's urgently needed for our times.

From the Publisher

The authority addicts ruling our planet want you to feel so alone and afraid that you'll never dare take a stand against global warming, the endless wars, or the relentless loss of our rights and liberties. Stop believing the Big Lie that you are too small and weak to make any difference in the world. An awareness of our global connectivity empowers you to change the world by changing yourself.

Interwoven with the author's surprising story of self liberation, GLOBAL SENSE Follows the structure and logic of Common Sense to inspire readers to liberate themselves and claim their personal power.

In Part I, where Paine explained the nature and purpose of government to decry the rights abuses of the British king, Freed discusses our modern governments and decries the abuses of modern leaders.

In Part II, where Paine refuted the divine rights of kings and hereditary succession, Freed challenges alpha male rule and authority addiction, instead proposing mindful self rule and personal democracy.

In Part III, where Paine argued against reconciling with the king, Freed argued against accepting authority addiction in the world and in ourselves.

In Part IV, where Paine offered a practical plan for the colonists to win a revolutionary war for national independence, Freed offers a practical plan for us to win today s evolutionary campaign for global interdependence as a path to world peace and a sustainable future.

In other words, Part I names our common global problems; Part II explains how we got into this mess; Part III reveals why we must change our ways or perish; Part IV offers realistic solutions to our individual and world problems. Taken altogether, the book helps you find in yourself the hope and courage to take action. The goal is self-liberation. A free society follows. Therefore, reading Judah Freed's book makes global sense.
