Book excerpt: This book is about changing the world, being a rebel and having a go. It's about how we recognise the need for shifts and summon the courage to make those changes, starting at the smallest level and eventually revolutionising the very way we lead our teams, our companies and our world. I've often had people, in work and in life, tell me it seemed I was trying to change the world. I would get ahead of them and, sometimes, myself with wild ideas, and they'd encourage me to slow down, break it down so they could understand where my brain was headed. This would frustrate me when I was younger, but not so much now. Now I'm proud to think big -- and changing the world seems a great place to start. Hence the title for this book.As one of Australia's leading female technologists, I've spent my career looking to the future. I've helped more than 40 companies adjust to the information revolution of the last 20 years. I've supported business leaders looking for ways to survive the turmoil of the digital age and position their companies for growth and prosperity, with an ever-watchful eye toward what's next. Along the way, I've learned a little something about leadership, about what society needs to achieve to be, not only successful, but sustainable. It's clear to me now, as reports about climate change, geopolitical turmoil and global pandemic fill our daily news feeds, that the future is no longer a given. Change at all levels must happen to ensure we even have a tomorrow, let alone the bright one we have the potential to create if we combine good leadership with the amazing technologies in development right now. It's my hope that the insights I provide here, based on my personal experiences and many years working in the field, will help prepare and inspire you to face the challenges the present demands. Now more than ever, we need to lead radically, think differently and bring together diverse teams of people with a range of personalities and perspectives to make real change. Let this book guide you in thinking about the world today and the world we could create tomorrow -- one unlike anything we've known before, where humans and technology become even more closely entwined and a new type of leader answers the call.

Far from something to fear and avoid, she says, every change—even the most difficult and painful—gives us an opportunity to receive the miraculous gift of personal transformation into what we are capable of becoming.

We will find real growth, Williamson gently teaches us, when we reorient ourselves with an eternal compass of spiritual principles, which alone can guide us on this path to wholeness.

Download or read book Being the Change written by Peter Kalmus and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A plethora of insights about nature and ourselves, revealed by one man’s journey as he comes to terms with human exploitation of our planet.” —Dr. James Hansen, climate scientist and former director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies Life on one-tenth the fossil fuels turns out to be awesome. We all want to be happy. Yet as we consume ever more in a frantic bid for happiness, global warming worsens. Alarmed by drastic changes now occurring in the Earth’s climate systems, Peter Kalmus, a climate scientist and suburban father of two, embarked on a journey to change his life and the world. He began by bicycling, growing food, meditating, and making other simple, fulfilling changes. Ultimately, he slashed his climate impact to under a tenth of the US average and became happier in the process. Being the Change explores the connections between our individual daily actions and our collective predicament. It merges science, spirituality, and practical action to develop a satisfying and appropriate response to global warming. Part one exposes our interconnected predicament: overpopulation, global warming, industrial agriculture, growth-addicted economics, a sold-out political system, and a mindset of separation from nature. It also includes a readable but authoritative overview of climate science. Part two offers a response at once obvious and unprecedented: mindfully opting out of this broken system and aligning our daily lives with the biosphere. The core message is deeply optimistic: living without fossil fuels is not only possible, it can be better. “In this timely and provocative book, Peter Kalmus points out that changing the world has to start with changing our own lives. It’s a crucial message that needs to be heard.” —John Michael Greer, author of After Progress and The Retro Future
