The Power of Partnership: The Seven Relationships that will Change Your Life
by Riane Eisler
New World Library, March 2002
ISBN 1-57731-178-7This groundbreaking, practical, new book by Riane Eisler addresses and links all the major issues facing us today. From terrorism, political and economic corruption, human rights violations, and global warfare to the day-to-day problems in our workplaces, communities, and relations between men and women, parents and children, this book provides personal, social, and political solutions. It is a new genre of self-help book that tackles what 9-11 so tragically showed: that the self cannot be helped in isolation from the larger web of relations around us.
Named in Macrohistory and Macrohistorians one of the 20 most important long-range social thinkers in a lineup including Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Toynbee, and Sorokin, Eisler is the first woman to be so honored. Eisler is internationally recognized for her study of the "Domination" and "Partnership" ways of life over the whole span of human history. She is a co-founder of the General Evolution Research Group and President of the Center for Partnership Studies . Dr. Eisler's best-selling book The Chalice and the Blade, showing the ancient partnership roots of today's progressive social movements, was hailed by anthropologist Ashley Montagu as "the most important book since Darwin's Origin of Species. " For this and other works bringing her cultural transformation theory to life, Eisler was named one of the top 100 visionaries of all time by the editors of the Utne Reader.
Escaping Nazi terrorism as a child, Eisler has studied the "Domination" and "Partnership" ways of life over a 35,000-year span of time. Her just released The Power of Partnership (New World Library, 2002) shows how these two models are at work in every major challenge we face today – and what we can do to shift to the more equitable, peaceful, and fulfilling partnership future.
