From HERO to Healer – Awakening the inner activist

If you are a social or environmental activist, reading this little book might be the best investment you ever make.

Here’s the question: Why are we not making more progress on social and environmental issues?

Instead, we are witnessing more poverty, more inequality, more chronic disease, more social breakdown, worsening pollution, and a growing climate crisis. Could it be that the strategies we employ as activists are actually sustaining the problems we’re trying to address?

With touching honesty and humility, author Robin Youngson shares the five biggest mistakes he made in a decade of campaigning, and how his counter-intuitive new strategies led to international success.
