NEW BOOK COMING IN JULY, 2026
STRENGTH FOR WHAT LIES AHEAD: RESTORING BALANCE IN A TIME OF CRISIS
Concerned about the global crises we are facing? This hopeful guide offers practical tools for personal resilience and collective action to restore balance, create justice, and find peace in our turbulent world.
Thoughtful conversations these days reveal tremendous anxiety about the multiple crises we humans are facing. Our physical climate is deteriorating, as evidenced by the increasing frequency of flooding, wildfires, sea level rise, climate refugees, and species extinction. We’ve lived through a paradigm-shifting public health crisis, and can expect more viral episodes in future. In the U.S. particularly, income inequality and poverty are at a level not seen since just before the Great Depression, what we might call the crisis of capitalism. Mounting political instability marches across the globe.
We may try to distract ourselves by keeping busy with the myriad needs of daily life. Or lose ourselves to despair. But the more these crises impinge on our daily routines, they more they demand attention. Things are likely to get bad. In many places of the world, they are bad.
“Strength for What Lies Ahead” proposes practical strategies for dealing with these challenging times, individual and social measures that can help us navigate the waters ahead. Hopeful in tone, the book offers tools to restore balance, create justice, find peace, and cultivate resilience. In other words, tools for coping, and tools for action.
