    Blessed Unrest - "Re-imagining the Future"

    That Paul Hawken is a careful and caring student of the environmental and social justice movements is apparent in the flowing text of Blessed Unrest. What is more striking is the extent to which Hawken has embedded the redemptive soulful invitations to be agents for change that Emerson, Thoreau, Gandhi, and King offered each one of us. The result is an inspired manifesto: Everyman has a role to play in shaping a world built on a reverence for all life and honoring what is noble and true in others as well as in ourselves. As the stunning appendix makes clear, there are millions of us who are hard at work (and play) re-imagining that future right now.

    170 years ago in a cemetery next door to her home in Salem, Massachusetts, a young Sophia Peabody (soon to be the fiancée of Nathaniel Hawthorne) read Emerson's just-published 1837 Harvard Phi Beta Kappa Address, "The American Scholar" (called "America's Intellectual Declaration of Independence" by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.). With much enthusiasm Sophia wrote to her brother in New Orleans that Emerson was "the Watchman that sits in the Tower of Thought, & whenever the Morning cometh to his far reaching eye, he announces it in a clear spirit tone to those who are sleeping beneath the mount of Vision." While the "sluggards" may have wished to keep sleeping, Emerson trumpeted, "No No! the MORNING COMETH!" Sophia next informed her brother of the effect of Emerson's company on their sister, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody (the founder of the kindergarten movement in the US): "Elizabeth has replenished her horn at the fountain of his overflowing Dawn. You know her own is never empty. She has found out what she has herself, rather than received anything new, I suspect. Her faith in herself is freshened." Like an Emersonian Watchman, Paul Hawken acknowledges in simple terms what we are facing, noting that it is time to wake up. He then replenishes our horn by refreshing our faith in ourselves and in the countless sisters and brothers around the world who are putting shoulders to the wheel. I cannot wait for the movie.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Towards a movement of concerned citizens
    Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    All big transformations start with some crazy people having even crazier ideas. One of the most important examples the author gives is of a dozen people meeting in a small print shop in London to abolish slave trade. "They were reviled and dismissed by businessmen and politicians. It was argued that their crackpot ideas would bring down the English economy, eliminate growth and jobs, cost too much money, and lower the standard of living." Sounds pretty familiar, doesn't it ?

    Paul Hawken goes on exploring the history of civil disobedience, and shows how NGOs have proliferated in our time. Here he expects possibilities producing transformations in societies, which could have more power when acting in a coordinated way. The author didn't stop just thinking this. He originated a new website, "wiserearth", which is a platform offered to all NGO's and concerned citizens, at a global scale, to debate and to coordinate their actions, following the principle : "Think globally and act locally". At this moment in history, this is very important, since never before humanity faced a global threat so huge like global warming. What makes things even worse is that in the world we're living in today we have very little left of democracy (read Bagdikian's The New Media Monopoly if you're in doubt). Governments are corporate owned, and will never push for the real changes we need. At best, they will make some minor readjustments without real impact, while we should fully head for sustainable production and consumption. Now, when a movement of committed NGO's and concerned citizens, people like you and me, who are aware of the consequences of our actions, act together, in coordination, then maybe, we could recuperate our governments, so that they will put the people and their future in the first place again, like it was supposed to be, instead of the profits of the big corporations. Therefore, we should change our individual consumption, so that the "market" - the only thing governments and corporations really believe in - will be obliged to adjust.

    We can do a lot to reduce our individual dependence on fossil fuels in order to have some future left for our children. We can heat our house through intelligent design, following the principles of the passive solar house. We can boycott all gasoline-driven cars on the market today, including hybrid ones, and purchase only electric vehicles, which will be launched to the market next year (2010), with the best proposal so far Fiat's Phylla, which has solar panels incorporated in the car's roof. We should fly less, and we should eat less meat or no meat at all. We should buy organics. Those are all little things we can already do. At home. Don't wait till tomorrow. Do it now. It's the only way to guarantee a future for the next generations. And let's be serious : this will not "bring down American economy, eliminate growth and jobs, cost too much money, and lower the standard of living". What it will obtain is transforming the economy, supporting the most creative manufacturers, and supporting local organic farmers, which will generate new jobs. Transforming your home into a solar house represents a somewhat bigger initial investment than a "normal" house, but you will benefit in the long run from lower (or no) operational costs for heating your house. The same applies for electric vehicles, which don't need gasoline and are cheaper in maintenance. There will be no lowering of the standard of living, just a structural change towards an economy without oil. That's why the current big corporations - with Big Oil as their leader - will never accept those ideas, since they prefer making profits, even if this means we're all heading for collapse.

    Advert stated pages clean with no writing. This was incorrect as there was extensive writing on the first couple of chapters. Whilst this doesn't really impact my enjoyment of the book's contents, it is false advertising and disappointing in that regard. Have yet to finish it so cannot comment on the book properly, but promising beginning.

    Great insightful book about the environmental and social justice movements. It has various interesting examples of historical and current events that have or are shaping the movement.
    I purchased this book to get back into reading because I wasn't much of a reader before and this interesting and educational book put me back in the game.
