Global Sense
by Judah Freed
Back in 1776, a dark time for freedom, Thomas Paine wrote the history-making essay, Common Sense. In one bold and brash move, Paine revived hope and inspired action by persuading colonial Americans to fight for independence. Without Common Sense, many historians believe, the American Revolution would have failed from lack of public support. (Read an excerpt here)
If Thomas Paine were alive today, what would he say about the state of our world?
Author Judah Freed, a media and politics journalist, answered that question with his just-released book, Global Sense, an update of Common Sense to renew hope in these times that try our souls.
Where Paine opposed monarchy and hereditary succession, Freed exposes the dangers of “alpha male rule” and “authority addiction.” Instead, he favors “mindful self rule” and “personal democracy.” Freed’s core idea is that our natural global interactivity empowers each of us to change the world by changing ourselves. He writes, “Uniting personal growth and politics makes global sense.”
What Would Jefferson Do? author and Air America talk show Thom Hartmann wrote the foreword for Global Sense. Affluenza co-author David Wann wrote the preface. Rights activist and Earth Democracy author Dr. Vandana Shiva wrote the Afterword. Said the best selling author of Diet For a Small Planet, Frances Moore Lappe, “I am extremely enthusiastic about the book.”
