To see peace in our lifetimes, we have to practice love.

This is the radical message of this inspirational book of pithy advice from environmental activist Satish Kumar, which helps us find ways to love ourselves, others, and all beings on planet Earth—even those we may find unlovable.

Satish Kumar is well known for his epic walk for world peace in his youth in the 1960s from India to the nuclear capitals of Moscow, Paris, London, and Washington, DCWherever he traveled, he found that human beings were capable of a love that could overcome hatred and division. Settling down in the UK, he married his wife, June Mitchell, and founded eco-university Schumacher College in Devon, eventually becoming a leading figure in the UK green movement.

Radical Love distills the author''s lifetime of experience as a lover, parent, activist, and educator into simple lessons on transforming our time of ecological crisis, conflict, and scarcity into one in which we experience harmony with nature, safety, and abundanceIt is an exploration of the transformative power of love in all its forms, from romantic love to love for one''s family and community to love for the planet and all beings. 

Kumar''s approach is founded on simplicity (including the Jain principle of aparigraha), generosity, and continuous learningLike an unfolding metta meditation, the book expands our notions of love to its most sublime universal state and makes a great gift to share with those we love.
