Book Presentation: Blessed Unrest by Paul Hawken

Book Abstract

As the twenty-first century gets underway, systemic global problems are becoming increasingly expansive and alarming. However, a worldwide movement has also emerged through literally millions of organizations, many of them grassroots, which are determined to rectify the mistakes made by humanity in an effort to heal and sustain the earth. In Blessed Unrest, Hawken provides the historical underpinnings of the movement and lays out its common aims and ideals. This is a movement that has no name, leader, or location, but is in every city, town, and culture and it is organizing from the bottom up and emerging as an extraordinary and creative expression of people’s needs worldwide.

Summary of Blessed Unrest (Paul Hawken )

The Beginning

Paul Hawken has given close to 1,000 speeches on the environment over the last 15 years and each time, after the talk, a smaller group would assemble to ask questions, offer ideas, and exchange business cards. He would collect hundreds of cards in only a few weeks, and began to think, “Does anyone truly appreciate how many groups and organizations are engaged in progressive causes?” When he investigated the matter, counting the number of environmental and social justice organizations around the world, he came up with an estimate that there are 1-2 million organizations working toward ecological sustainability and social justice.
