Finser\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Be a person of initiative and beware, lest through hindrances of your own body or hindrances that otherwise come in your way, you do not find the center of your being, within which lies the source of your initiative. Observe that, in your life, all joy and sorrow, all happiness and pain, will depend on finding or not finding your own individual initiative. This should appear, as if written in golden letters, constantly before the soul of anthroposophists. Initiative lies in their karma, and much of what meets them in this life will depend on the extent to which they can become willingly, actively conscious of it.\" --\u003cb\u003eRudolf Steiner\u003c\/b\u003e, Aug. 4, 1924\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTorin Finser takes on some of our contemporary challenges and proposes new solutions. Rather than simply \"kicking the can down the road,\" as often happens with issues such as sovereign debts, Middle East conflicts, and environmental issues, Finser calls for \u003ci\u003eindividual initiative\u003c\/i\u003e. Drawing on a variety of rich cultural and spiritual traditions, he makes the case for social change that begins within. To do so, one must first access resources that support initiative and innovation. Key questions discussed in this book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow is it possible to live a spiritual life in our materialistic age?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan an individual person still make a difference?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow can we use a whole-systems approach to innovation?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow can planetary wisdom help us find appropriate leadership styles?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat are the inner conditions needed to work with the transcendent Self?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the swirl of multi-tasking, how can we find moments of solitude and reflection?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe need new, a ethical individualism that is fully transformative. As quoted from the Peace Pilgrim in chapter 2: This is the way of peace--overcome evil with good, and falsehood with truth, and hatred with love. Today's world needs people of initiative--those willing to become the change that is so desperately needed.
