Book: Navigating the Coming Chaos

by Carolyn Baker, Ph.D., http://carolynbaker.net/

In 2006 the Transition movement was born in Totnes, England and since then has virally spread throughout the world until there are now over 300 Transition initiatives on the planet. Some people reading this book are familiar with Transition and the efforts it continues to make to create sustainable communities everywhere on earth. Its model offers a brilliant map for transforming the conditions of the external world, or in situations where that may not be possible, responding to them resiliently.

However, even though the Transition Handbook contains a section on the psychology of change, the focus of the movement remains on external Transition. Because I feel passionately that external Transition cannot succeed without a transformation of consciousness among the human species, Navigating The Coming Chaos has been written to address the void created by a predominant emphasis on outer Transition and offer specific tools to facilitate inner Transition. My hope is that this book will become an intimate companion of the Transition Handbook as well as a map of inner transition for individuals who are completely unfamiliar with the Transition movement.  READ MORE
