Getting a Grip 2

Clarity Creativity and Courage for the World We Really Want

Frances Moore Lappé

Why are we as societies creating a world that we as individuals abhor?

This is the question at the heart of Getting a Grip 2: Clarity, Creativity and Courage for the World We Really Want. This fresh, original work shatters tired, right–versus–left dogma and affirms readers' basic sanity — their intuition that it is possible to stop grasping at straws and to grasp instead the real roots of today's crises. Drawing on the latest findings in psychology and anthropology, it addresses topics from the impact of the Obama presidency and the global financial crisis. Completely updated and revised, this book leaves readers feeling courageous and liberated for action.
