Social Change 2.0 – David Gershon

By Editor, on March 17th, 2011

A blueprint for Re-inventing Our World.

This book begins with ambitious intent: “we are being called to reinvent not only our world,” writes David Gershon, “but also the process by which we achieve this reinvention”. The familiar social change tools of protests, campaigns and lobbying are not working fast enough. To address the accelerating unravelling of our planet’s life support system, we need to step up in our capacity as change-makers. Based on more than three decades of research and an impressive track record of practice, what Gershon offers are proven tools and game-changing principles that strengthen our ability to transform our society.

Social Change 2.0: A Blueprint for Reinventing Our World

Social Change 2.0: A Blueprint for Reinventing Our World is a handbook every visionary must read. Jam-packed with effective reality-tested tools and true-life stories, this new tome by David Gershon provides insights from the front lines. In David's case the front lines include working with world leaders like Ronald Reagan, Mikhail Gorbechov, and Li Xiannian as well as the millions of people who have participated in his efforts.

Undeniable Genius Isolated from Other Movements,

January 4, 2010, Robert D. Steele (Oakton, VA United States)

This book is a work of undeniable genius and to that I would add perseverence--the author and his wife Gail Straub have been on the forefront of the personal empowerment movement from the late 1970's onward, and in many ways this book is a capstone work that bridges from the personal to the neighborhood and aspires to--but does not quite attain--the goal of being globally meaningful. I previously enjoyed and reviewed Low Carbon Diet: A 30 Day Program to Lose 5000 Pounds--Be Part of the Global Warming Solution! but this is the book that moves the author into my pantheon of a dozen world-class thinkers on social change.

Few books can claim to have the potential to radically alter our approach to life and consequently change the world, but none more so than David Gershon’s Social Change 2.0. As the global economic and climatic crises push society closer to the cusp of transformation, books such as Gershon’s will be guiding the leaders of the future.
