Is it possible for mankind to establish a sane world? This book says emphatically Yes!
The people who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the people doing it. (ancient Chinese proverb).

From a World of Madness to a World of Sanity: Guides for Action is a survey of the many good things happening in the world. The more we know about the positive side of our world the more we empower each other and ourselves to deny programs, policies and actions that are hypocritical, dishonest, uncaring and evil. This does not mean ignoring our problems but facing them with clarity and compassion."
There are people and groups who are, as the historian Cahill calls them "(T)he great gift-givers, arriving in the moment of crisis, providing for transition, for transformation, and even transfiguration, leaving us a world more varied and complex, more awesome and delightful, more beautiful and
strong..."
The book¹s organizing framework is the teachings and practices of Shambhala Buddhism, which I feel will be experienced as another great gift, arriving at this moment of crisis in the world that will help create a more beautiful, strong and sane society.
a.. Inspiring Education
b.. Clear Communication
c.. Compassionate Community
d.. Humanistic Economics
e.. Moral Politics
f.. Ethical Business
g.. Enlightened Military
are some of the book¹s specific topics (chapters). They may sound like oxymorons, but that is due to our growing cynicism. These things exist but we have to dig for them, broadcast them, and emulate them.
From a World of Madness to a World of Sanity differs from other books in that it provides a powerful guiding framework to finding solutions to the major problems we face in the world so that we can take action on an individual, communal and society level. No one can empower us but ourselves. It is entirely up to us.
