Systems Change for People and Planet

The issues of poverty, inequality, racial injustice, and climate change have never been more pressing or paralyzing. Current approaches to social change, which rely on linear thinking and traditional power dynamics to "solve" social problems, are not helping. In fact, they may only be entrenching the status quo. This book draws on stories of committed social changemakers to uncover a set of principles and practices for social change that dramatically depart from the industrial approach. Simple yet profound, these stories distill timely lessons for leaders, scholars, and policymakers.

The only sure thing in life is change. It happens to us and all around us every day – but truly big change is rare, less in our control, and has effects far beyond the moment. Some impact the rest of our lives. Each episode of this podcast digs into an individual’s story of change to reveal a little bit about how and why we make big changes in our lives and what can be learned from these experiences. Join me for tales of grit and sacrifice, success and triumph, humor and disappointment, life and death and resilience – all told by the people who experienced BIG change first-hand.
