When we feel anxiety, despair, and hopelessness about the future, we lose touch with our power and our purpose. We don't think our choices matter or that our voice can be heard. When we rise up, reclaim our power, and unify with others on the path of love, we get to make the difference that we've always secretly known we could.
This is revolutionary optimism.
Woven throughout the book are stories of individuals you will long remember-people who at first didn't see how they could help or make a difference. Through them, we are reminded that every one of us are capable of extraordinary acts of bravery and heroism. The people you will meet within these pages are moving examples of how our feelings of injustice can be the catalyst for unifying with others and helping to build movements at local, national, and international levels.
Revolutionary Optimism is both a highly practical handbook and a potent cure for the many faces of fear that loom large in times of great turmoil and uncertainty. This timely publication presents an uplifting path of actionable strategies, including doing one's inner work, that guides the reader step-by-step towards finding solutions to the crises we face-and doing so with an open heart.
It forges a path for intentionally putting love at the center of our lives. As we commit ourselves to this path, we discover that we already have within us the bravery needed to take a stand for what matters most to us and to help repair the wounds of this beautiful world we all share.
And there is no time to waste. It's go time!
