brown seems to be answering the call of Larry Roper, who years ago I heard urge for fewer social justice activists and more social justice strategists. Here she builds on her conversations with Grace Lee Boggs building on a century of Bogg’s movement leadership and Margaret Wheatley’s Leadership and the New Science. Getting Strategic for Social ChangeĮmergent strategy is more than visioning, it is also strategy about how we get there. I learned in school to deconstruct – but how do we learn to move beyond our beautiful deconstruction? Who teaches us to reconstruct? adrienne maree brown, Emergent Strategy 2. You can find more of my learnings on this here: From Anti-Oppression to Liberation Approaches for Social Justice. A key part of emergent strategy is getting clear about what we are for and not just what we are against. She pulls from Octavia Bulter’s science fiction as a key tool in developing the ability to vision what we cannot yet see. Emergent strategy is her approach based on her learning, thinking, and practices. Brown is observant about the challenges of social change movements and thoughtful about how those movements can be more effective.

The depth of human experience Solomon chronicles, the range of his intelligence, and his boundless curiosity and compassion will change the reader's view of the world. He also explores the thorny patch of moral and ethical questions posed by emerging biological explanations for mental illness. He confronts the challenge of defining the illness and describes the vast range of available medications, the efficacy of alternative treatments, and the impact the malady has had on various demographic populations around the world and throughout history. Drawing on his own struggles with the illness and interviews with fellow sufferers, doctors and scientists, policymakers and politicians, drug designers and philosophers, Solomon reveals the subtle complexities and sheer agony of the disease. The Noonday Demon examines depression in personal, cultural, and scientific terms. His contribution to our understanding not only of mental illness but also of the human condition is truly stunning.

As we know, Scripture tells us that love is the highest attribute. We may not consciously distinguish one use of love from another, in part because our speech is becoming more and more informal, but it’s important to be intentional about the differences. We love everything from various foods to cars, from movies to retailers, from people to God himself. Today, love is overused and undervalued at the same time.
