Many of our city teams have been asking for products that will allow them to show off that they are are working towards being a compassionate city. You'll also find Robin Youngson's book From Hero to Healer in our Books from our Global Read Series. Emotional Intelligence for a Compassionate World is an engaging, self-paced workbook for individuals and teams who want to increase their Emotional Intelligence. You'll also want to check out a new book by Charter Education Institute instructor, Barbara Kerr.
The book also includes two forewords by Nobel Peace Prize winner, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and by award-winning author, Alexander McCall Smith. Journalist Marina Cantacuzino set out to collect stories from victims and perpetrators who had chosen to resolve conflict through dialogue and restorative means. The Forgiveness Project was founded in 2004 in response to the invasion of Iraq and as a way of countering the rhetoric of retaliation so prominent at that time. Of course, we have a number of autographed books by Karen Armstrong, but we do have some additional ones that you'll want to consider from some of our partners: The Forgiveness Project by Marina Cantacuzino, founder of the project. Have you visited our new Marketplace? We are becoming quite the bookstore and you'll be seeing it grow by leaps and bounds over the next weeks. Could it be that the strategies we employ as activists are actually sustaining the problems we’re trying to address? With touching honesty and humility, Youngson shares the five biggest mistakes he made in a decade of campaigning, and how his counter-intuitive new strategies led to international success. Here's the question: Why are we not making more progress on social and environmental issues? Instead, we are witnessing more poverty, more inequality, more chronic disease, more social breakdown, worsening pollution, and a growing climate crisis. Robin Youngson's Recording from his Webinar From Hero to Healer. Special offering of the Women and Girls sector. Riane Eisler, author of The Chalice and the Blade and The Real Wealth of Nations.
