Today we talk about what Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone 's book Active Hope . Specifically the three stages of dealing with the current crisis. “Business as Usual” - Those who refuse to change. The people that believe that the current system is the best or only way. “The Great Unravelling” - Those who are inundated with despair about the fact that people are still in "business as usual" mode. The people that believe that the world is in serious decline + feel hopeless + helpless. “The Great Turning” - Those who are working “to transition from a doomed economy of industrial growth to a life-sustaining society committed to the recovery of our world.” Where are you? I waffle between 1, 2, and 3 seemingly all the time, but I spend most of my time in 2. Read the first few chapters of the book ACTIVE HOPE. Read Faron Sage's Article . Read more from Joanna Macy .
