Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Lifelong Activist: How to Change the World Without Losing Your Way (Lantern Books, 2006) tells you how to live a happy and productive life that includes a strong progressive mission. Whether you’re an activist, organizer, artist, student, teacher, human services worker, volunteer, or simply a concerned citizen, The Lifelong Activist will teach you the five key disciplines that bring success. They are:

  • Managing Your Mission — uncovering your authentic self, including your true goals and needs;
  • Managing Your Time — so you can create a schedule to achieve those goals and meet those needs;
  • Managing Your Fears — so you can get past procrastination, perfectionism, negativity, hypersensitivity, fears and blocks, and actually follow your schedule;
  • Managing Your Relationship With Self — so you can become the most empowered “you“ you can be; and,
  • Managing Your Relationship With Others — so you can leverage your skills and talents with those of others.

Review:

People often ask how I manage to continue devoting myself to progressive activism (such as the free software movement) for years without burning out. The best way I can answer is by recommending…The Lifelong Activist. Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software movement and MacArthur Fellow

Review:

Global warming, poverty, homelessness, or other pressing problems; take your pick—and then use the organizing and time-management tools in The Lifelong Activist to change the world. Adam Hochschild, author of Bury The Chains and King Leopold’s Ghost

Review:

If I had but one book to spend hard-earned cash on this year, this one would be it, hands down. Daily Kos
