BLESSED UNREST:
How the Largest
Movement in the
World Came Into
Being and Why
No One Saw It
Coming
Paul Hawken
(Viking)
Hawken has written a different kind of book: the story of the good in the world. Blessed Unrest charts the civil society movement across the planet – “humanity’s immune response to toxins like political corruption, economic disease, and ecological degradation.” The book is packed with information, covering groups from Greenpeace to tiny neighborhood associations, but its greatest gift is hope.
