Ways of Wielding the Force
Who says working for social justice can’t be fun and transformative? "Wielding the Force: The Science of Social Justice" explored new science, old wisdom and their implications for radical social change. This booklet puts that knowledge into action by providing practical ways in which groups working for change can deepen their internal relationships to each other and strengthen their connection with the natural world. These practices promise to make our work more effective, more sustainable and more connected to life.

The author provides 13 exercises that mix modern day science with more traditional wisdoms to achieve a greater sense of unity with people around you.
Personally I thought there was too much of a focus on traditional wisdoms so I couldn't really get in to it too much.
The book is a good read though and everything is well explained and fully detailed.
I received the book for free through Goodreads Firstreads.
