“A Future to Believe In is a message the world needs to hear now!” ~ Bill McKibben, Author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet.
In Alan Clements' visionary new book, he weaves the wisdom of hundreds of the world’s most innovative thinkers, artists, and risk-takers with his own most compelling life-lessons from his forty-year long pursuit of truth and freedom – an epic journey that has taken him from the sacredness of monastic silence deep into the dark heart of war zones. An iconoclastic blend of radical cultural commentary, gutsy political punditry and provocative spiritual inquiry, this field guide for revolutionaries, is designed to liberate the human spirit – igniting courageous spiritual transformation in one’s daily life and nonviolent political change around the world. This treasury of one and two page reflections is meant to be an intimate companion - a timeless source of insight and inspiration over a lifetime. How will you find your freedom? How will you help shape a future to believe in?
"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."
~ Dr Helen Caldicott, Author of Nuclear Power is Not the Answer and If you Love this Planet, Founding President Physicians for Social Responsibility.
“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.
“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.”
~ Derrick Jensen, Author of Culture of Make Believe.
"A Future to Believe In is a treasure, not a mere book."
~ Paul Hawken, Author of Blessed Unrest.
"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."
~ Kelly Wendorf, author and editor Stories of Belonging
“This book should be made mandatory world-wide for all heads of state.”
~ Lissa Wolsak, Author of In Defense of Being.
"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."
~ Joanna Macy, Buddhist teacher, activist and author of World as Lover, World As Self.
