Coming Back to Life

Practices to Reconnect Our Lives, Our World

by Molly Young Brown & Joanna Macy



Many of us feel called upon to respond to the ecological destruction of our planet, yet we feel overwhelmed, immobilized, and unable to deal realistically with the threats to life on Earth. Coming Back to Life provides a much needed update and expansion of Macy's pioneering work, Despair and Personal Power in the Nuclear Age which, since 1983, has sold 30,000 copies. At the interface between spiritual breakthrough and social action, Coming Back to Life discusses with extraordinary insight the angst of our era - the pain, fear, guilt and inaction it has engendered - and then points forward to the way out of apathy.
