Conscious Evolution
by Barbara Marx Hubbard
Novato CA: New World Library, 1998
ISBN: 1-57731-016-0
Barbara Marx Hubbard, a noted futurist and president of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution, has written a profound and at the same time highly practical guide to achieving a more enlightened society. She views society at this time as heading for global catastrophe unless we all set ourselves to the task of turning this trend around. She writes, "In the midst of our confusion, however, a new story of evolution is emerging that has the potential to inspire us to creative action. It is coming from the combined insights of many disciplines: scientific, historical, psychological, ecological, social, spiritual, and futuristic. But it has not yet found its artistic or popular expression. We discover fragments in journals, poems, books, lectures, conferences, seminars, and networks of those interested in it. But it has not yet been pieced together and told with the power required to awaken the social potential within us and to guide us in the 21st century toward a future of infinite possibilities."
In this book she begins piecing together this story with rich examples, references, anecdotes, and suggested guidelines for action. She also includes a comprehensive list of resources including organizations, networks, and web sites in the fields of governance and law; education; economics, business and philanthropy; health, relationship and personal growth, science and technology; spirituality and religion; environment and habitat; and culture, media and communication.
For educators who know that they hold the future in their hands every day as they prepare their students for the world of tomorrow, this book is a must.
