This is a roadmap for social change – for anyone who wants to create a better world.
A call to radically rethink how we make a difference, from a leading expert on social change-making and co-founder of GetUp.
Whether you're a TV-shouter, an exasperated commuter or a keyboard warrior, too many of us feel powerless, knowing that our problems are determined by forces far greater than us. We don't know how to make a difference.
Conscious Tribes offers a way forward, arguing that we can be more powerful than we think. Drawing on a wide range of fascinating case studies from around the globe – from Sydney to Hong Kong; from schoolrooms to boardrooms – Amanda Tattersall builds a map of public life to show how anyone can make a difference.
By exploring the paradoxes of power – public and private, big and small, sameness and difference, action and reflection – Tattersall argues that the best way to respond is by joining with others in 'conscious tribes': groups with common purpose that allow us to build power across our differences.
Conscious Tribes is a practical, accessible guide from an expert in the field, packed with the stories of activists and unlikely agitators who are taking on the defining challenges of our time.
