Book Reviews of Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being and Why No One Saw It Coming

Book Review: Loved this book
Summary: 5 Stars

I heard about Paul Hawken few weeks ago and I decided to buy his book. I just feel that I learnt so much, the information is clear, the writing is great. Loved the image of the immune system as a comparison of the reaction of people who fight for Human Rights, Environment, Culture, Language, etc. I just want to read more now about these subjects. (sorry for the mistakes)

Summary of Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being and Why No One Saw It Coming

One of the world?s most influential environmentalists reveals a worldwide grassroots movement of hope and humanity

Blessed Unrest tells the story of a worldwide movement that is largely unseen by politicians or the media. Hawken, an environmentalist and author, has spent more than a decade researching organizations dedicated to restoring the environment and fostering social justice. From billion-dollar nonprofits to single-person causes, these organizations collectively comprise the largest movement on earth. This is a movement that has no name, leader, or location, but is in every city, town, and culture. It is organizing from the bottom up and is emerging as an extraordinary and creative expression of people?s needs worldwide.

Blessed Unrest explores the diversity of this movement, its brilliant ideas, innovative strategies, and centuries-old history. The culmination of Hawken?s many years of leadership in these fields, it will inspire, surprise, and delight anyone who is worried about the direction the modern world is headed. Blessed Unrest is a description of humanity?s collective genius and the unstoppable movement to re-imagine our relationship to the environment and one another. Like Hawken?s previous books, Blessed Unrest will become a classic in its field? a touchstone for anyone concerned about our future.
