Download or read book The Joy of Revolution written by Ken Knabb and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Ken Knabb presents a series of observations on the problems and possibilities of a global anti-hierarchical revolution. Beginning with a brief overview of the failure of Bolshevism and the inadequacy of reformism, he examines the pros and cons of a wide range of radical tactics, then concludes with some speculations on what a liberated society might be like. The aim throughout is to bring the real choices into the open and to incite people to make their own radical experiments. "The Joy of Revolution, is a simple, but not simplistic, outline of why and how a non-hierarchical, non-statist society might be possible... I'd especially recommend the book for people who are vaguely sympathetic to the idea of a non-hierarchical, non-statist society but who are skeptical of how, in practice, it could ever happen. There are some pointers given and some common bugbears demolished along the way. And it is all written with that rare combination of readability and logicality and elan."

Perhaps you find yourself: Working to effect true life change, but feel discouraged, tired, overwhelmed, and losing hope?Done with investing your life in a system that is not producing sustainable transformation in yourself or those you serve?Leaving conventional church altogether feeling discouraged, hurt, frustrated or apathetic?Searching for how to better engage as an organic church, simple church, or house church?After 10 years of coaching individuals, families and communities in the joy-fueled way described in these pages, the authors have seen a spontaneous, world-wide movement spring up. Here they share what they have learned:What is joy and why it is a superior fuel for motivationThe harmful effects of using substitute "fuels" that leave us discouraged and burned outHow you can nurture joy in yourself and your church (whatever form that might take)How mission can be a spontaneous explosion of joyIn Joy Fueled, you will discover three practices that inspire hope to build the joy necessary to go the distance, foster mature relationships with others and with God, and overflow into a life of missionWhat is stopping you from reclaiming joy as your primary motivation and joining God in catalyzing a self-propagating revolution of joy?
Book Synopsis Hugh Jackman and the Joy Revolution by : Louisa Joy Dykstra
Download or read book Hugh Jackman and the Joy Revolution written by Louisa Joy Dykstra and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Joy Revolution is NOT about pretending to always be joyful, or trying to make everything perfect. It's about using joy as a guide to be more YOU. Coaches agree that clear goals are important, and that believing in yourself is key. But HOW do you believe in yourself if you don't start out that way? Some leaders say to follow your heart, some say to not let your emotions control you. When your head and your heart are working together, emotions become your superpower! Are you ready to untangle the knot of 'shoulds' in your head so you can be who you were born to be? Learn what your emotions tell you about where your autopilot brain is pointing. Move beyond willpower and grit, and learn true resilience: how to refuel and reprogram your brain so you can achieve great things joyfully! Louisa takes you step by step through the process. And she makes learning pleasurable by using the life (so far) of Hugh Jackman as a stellar example of how it all works. Change the world and have a blast doing it! "You tackle huge life lessons with humour and compassion, simplifying some of the complexities of life. The book is both honest and timely." Sonia Garrett, author of the Maddie Series "At first glance, this may look like a book about Hugh Jackman, but it's not. It's actually a handbook for the mompreneur of the 21st century. Louisa speaks to millions of women who are losing themselves trying to meet other people's expectations. In this book, she shows you, step-by-step, how to live your life from joy, and by doing so, improve your business, your relationship, your parenting, and your health. As the leader of the Joy Revolution, Louisa proves that following your joy pays off -- even if that joy seems a little crazy at first, like obsessively studying the lives of Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-lee Furness. This is a must read for any woman who wants it all and is ready to get it while putting on her own oxygen mask first." Dana Wilde, bestselling author of Train Your Brain and creator of The Celebrity Formula Louisa is a mom of three, a community activist, the leader of a team of 10,000+ direct sellers, a violinist, and a Hugh Jackman superfan. Before becoming an entrepreneur she worked in corporate training specializing in human performance and motivation. She's a terrible cook and usually has hundreds of unread emails, but she'd rather spend her time helping women believe in themselves, because she knows that changes the world!

Book Synopsis Want to Start a Revolution? by : Dayo F. Gore
Download or read book Want to Start a Revolution? written by Dayo F. Gore and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the black freedom struggle in America has been overwhelmingly male-centric, starring leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Huey Newton. With few exceptions, black women have been perceived as supporting actresses; as behind-the-scenes or peripheral activists, or rank and file party members. But what about Vicki Garvin, a Brooklyn-born activist who became a leader of the National Negro Labor Council and guide to Malcolm X on his travels through Africa? What about Shirley Chisholm, the first black Congresswoman? From Rosa Parks and Esther Cooper Jackson, to Shirley Graham DuBois and Assata Shakur, a host of women demonstrated a lifelong commitment to radical change, embracing multiple roles to sustain the movement, founding numerous groups and mentoring younger activists. Helping to create the groundwork and continuity for the movement by operating as local organizers, international mobilizers, and charismatic leaders, the stories of the women profiled in Want to Start a Revolution? help shatter the pervasive and imbalanced image of women on the sidelines of the black freedom struggle. Contributors: Margo Natalie Crawford, Prudence Cumberbatch, Johanna Fernández, Diane C. Fujino, Dayo F. Gore, Joshua Guild, Gerald Horne, Ericka Huggins, Angela D. LeBlanc-Ernest, Joy James, Erik McDuffie, Premilla Nadasen, Sherie M. Randolph, James Smethurst, Margaret Stevens, and Jeanne Theoharis.

Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Renée Watson comes a love story about not only a romantic relationship but how a girl finds herself and falls in love with who she really is. When Nala Robertson reluctantly agrees to attend an open mic night for her cousin-sister-friend Imani's birthday, she finds herself falling in instant love with Tye Brown, the MC. He's perfect, except . . . Tye is an activist and is spending the summer putting on events for the community when Nala would rather watch movies and try out the new seasonal flavors at the local creamery. In order to impress Tye, Nala tells a few tiny lies to have enough in common with him. As they spend more time together, sharing more of themselves, some of those lies get harder to keep up. As Nala falls deeper into keeping up her lies and into love, she'll learn all the ways love is hard, and how self-love is revolutionary. In Love Is a Revolution, plus size girls are beautiful and get the attention of the hot guys, the popular girl clique is not shallow but has strong convictions and substance, and the ultimate love story is not only about romance but about how to show radical love to the people in your life, including to yourself.

Book Synopsis Welcome to the Revolution by : Charles Derber
Download or read book Welcome to the Revolution written by Charles Derber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-06-14 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Women’s March gathered millions just one day after Trump’s inauguration, a new era of progressive action was born. Organizing on the far Right led to Trump’s election, bringing authoritarianism and the specter of neo-fascism, and intensifying corporate capitalism’s growing crises of inequality and injustices. Yet now we see a new universalizing resistance among progressive and left movements for truth, dignity, and a world based on democracy, equality, and sustainability. Derber offers the first comprehensive guide to this new era and an original vision and strategy for movement success. He convincingly shows how only a new universalizing wave, a progressive and revolutionary "movement of movements," can counter the world-universalizing economic and cultural forces of intensifying corporate and far-right power. Derber explores the crises and eroding legitimacy of the globalized capitalist system and the right wing movements that helped create the Trump era. He shows how left universalizing movements can--and must—converge to propel a mass base that can prevent societal, economic, or ecological collapse, stop a resurgent Right, and build a democratic social alternative. He describes tactics and strategies for thisnew progressive movement. Brief guest "interludes" by Medea Benjamin, Noam Chomsky, Ralph Nader, Bill Fletcher, Juliet Schor, Gar Alperovitz, Chuck Collins, Matt Nelson, Janet Wallace, and other prominent figures tell how to coalesce and universalize activism into a more powerful movement wave—at local, community, national, and international levels. Vivid and highly accessible, this book is for activists, students, and all citizens concerned about the erosion of justice and democracy. It thoroughly illuminates the rationale, theory, practice, humanism, love, and joy of the social transformation that we urgently need.
Download or read book Lovingkindness written by Sharon Salzberg and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic and inspiring book on finding love in our own hearts—from the New York Times–bestselling author of Real Happiness and Real Change The revered spiritual teacher shows us how to live radiant, joyful lives by utilizing the Buddhist path in this “profound exploration of the deepest meanings of love, empathy, and caring” (Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence) Throughout our lives we long to love ourselves more deeply and find a greater sense of connection with others. Our fear of intimacy—both with others and with ourselves—creates feelings of pain and longing. But these feelings can awaken in us the desire for freedom and the willingness to take up the spiritual path. In this inspiring book, Sharon Salzberg, one of America’s leading spiritual teachers, shows us how the Buddhist path of lovingkindness can help us discover the radiant, joyful heart within each of us. This practice of lovingkindness is revolutionary because it has the power to radically change our lives, helping us cultivate true happiness in ourselves and genuine compassion for others. The author draws on simple Buddhist teachings, wisdom stories from various traditions, guided meditation practices, and her own experience from twenty-five years of practice and teaching to illustrate how each one of us can cultivate love, compassion, joy, and equanimity.
Book Synopsis The Institutional Revolution by : Douglas W. Allen
Download or read book The Institutional Revolution written by Douglas W. Allen and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-10-25 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few events in the history of humanity rival the Industrial Revolution. Following its onset in eighteenth-century Britain, sweeping changes in agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, and technology began to gain unstoppable momentum throughout Europe, North America, and eventually much of the world—with profound effects on socioeconomic and cultural conditions. In The Institutional Revolution, Douglas W. Allen offers a thought-provoking account of another, quieter revolution that took place at the end of the eighteenth century and allowed for the full exploitation of the many new technological innovations. Fundamental to this shift were dramatic changes in institutions, or the rules that govern society, which reflected significant improvements in the ability to measure performance—whether of government officials, laborers, or naval officers—thereby reducing the role of nature and the hazards of variance in daily affairs. Along the way, Allen provides readers with a fascinating explanation of the critical roles played by seemingly bizarre institutions, from dueling to the purchase of one’s rank in the British Army. Engagingly written, The Institutional Revolution traces the dramatic shift from premodern institutions based on patronage, purchase, and personal ties toward modern institutions based on standardization, merit, and wage labor—a shift which was crucial to the explosive economic growth of the Industrial Revolution.

Book excerpt: "Absolutely what we need in these days of spreading gloom." —John Holloway, author of Crack Capitalism "A guide to a fulfilling militant life." —Michael Hardt, co-author of Assembly "Rigid radicalism" is the congealed and debilitating practices that suck life and inspiration from the fight for a better world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Magic Lantern is one of those rare books that capture history in the making, written by an author who was witness to some of the most remarkable moments that marked the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. Timothy Garton Ash was there in Warsaw, on 4 June, when the communist government was humiliated by Solidarity in the first semi-free elections since the Second World War. He was there in Budapest, twelve days later, when Imre Nagy - thirty-one years after his execution - was finally given his proper funeral. He was there in Berlin, as the Wall opened. And most remarkable of all, he was there in Prague, in the back rooms of the Magic Lantern theatre, with Václav Havel and the members of Civic Forum, as they made their 'Velvet Revolution'.
Book Synopsis Drinking Up the Revolution by : James Wilt
Download or read book Drinking Up the Revolution written by James Wilt and published by Watkins Media Limited. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Wilt exposes the links between the global alcohol industry and capitalism. In Drinking Up the Revolution, James Wilt shows us why alcohol policy should be at the heart of any socialist movement. Many people are drinking more now than ever before, as already massive multinationals are consolidating and new online delivery services are booming in an increasingly deregulated market. At the same time, public health experts are sounding the alarm about the catastrophic health and social impacts of rising alcohol use, with over three million people dying ever year due to alcohol-related harms. Exposing the links between the alcohol industry and capitalism, colonialism and environmental destruction, Wilt demonstrates the failure of both prohibition and deregulation, and instead focuses on those who profit from alcohol’s sale and downplay its impacts: producers, retailers, and governments. Rejecting both the alcohol industry’s moralizing against individual “problem drinkers” and the sober politics of “straight-edge” and wellness lifestyle trends, Drinking Up the Revolution is not another call for prohibition or more governmental control, but is instead a cry to take back alcohol for the people, and make it safe and enjoyable for all those who want to use it.
