SUMMARY:How not to save the world with Author Andrea Lawson
DESCRIPTION:Many of us are motivated to support our communities and in some way make the world a better place. What if some of our core assumptions are actually getting in the way of broadening our reach? \nAnthea Lawson\, author and campaigner\, has interviewed over 200 activists\, campaigners and community builders to research this book. Exploring common hidden assumptions around ‘goodness’\, ‘knowing-better’ and ‘saving the world’\, she investigates how we can avoid the pitfalls of these beliefs and increase our chances of successfully engaging more people in our communities. \nHer books How Not To Save The World and The Entangled Activist help people who want to change the world think about the psychological\, spiritual and philosophical foundations of what they’re doing\, what’s getting in the way\, and how they can be more effective. After training as a journalist at The Times\, she worked for campaign groups including Global Witness and Amnesty International. \n“The stories in this book show how we can build bridges to work together for the world we want.” Brian Eno. \n“A wise rich and crucial book\, which is helping me to do better and will help many others.” George Monbiot. \n“A vital intervention. Even with the best intentions organisations and individuals can inadvertently make things worse. This book points a way forward that invites us all into our agency as citizens\, so we can build the world we want together.” Jon Alexander\, author of Citizens. \nJoin us for a lively talk and discussion.
