A visionary but practical sharing of how spiritual insights, and deepening our inner lives, can impact leadership for social change.

Over the past half-century, the issues facing activists have changed, as has our understanding and awareness of spiritualityFor activists, spiritual philosophy is rising up the agenda because it offers distinct, tried and tested approaches to deep questions: Where did it all go wrong? What does it mean to be human? What is the place of leadership? What is the nature of power?

Spiritual Activism begins by defining spirituality for a modern audience of all faiths and beliefs, and goes on to consider the problems and necessities of true leadershipDrawing on a rich history of spirituality and activism, from The Bhagavad Gita to the Hebrew prophets to Carl Jung, it is both guide and inspiration for people involved in activism for social or environmental justice.

Written by Scottish writer Alastair McIntosh and climate activist Matt Carmichael, the text is enriched with tales from the authors'' own experiencesIt also contains case studies of inspirational spiritual activists (including Mama Efua, Desmond Tutu, Gerrard Winstanley, Sojourner Truth and Julia Butterfly Hill), which demonstrate the transformative power of spiritual principles in action.
