To see peace in our lifetimes, we have to practice love. This is the
radical message of this inspirational book of pithy advice from
environmental activist Satish Kumar, which helps us find ways to love
ourselves, others, and all beings on planet Earth—even those we may
find unlovable. Satish Kumar is well known for his epic walk for
world peace in his youth in the 1960s from India to the nuclear
capitals of Moscow, Paris, London, and Washington, DC. Wherever he
traveled, he found that human beings were capable of a love that could
overcome hatred and division. Settling down in the UK, he married his
wife, June Mitchell, and founded eco-university Schumacher College in
Devon, eventually becoming a leading figure in the UK green movement.
Radical Love distills the author's lifetime of experience as a lover,
parent, activist, and educator into simple lessons on transforming our
time of ecological crisis, conflict, and scarcity into one in which we
experience harmony with nature, safety, and abundance. It is an
exploration of the transformative power of love in all its forms, from
romantic love to love for one's family and community to love for the
planet and all beings. Kumar's approach is founded on simplicity
(including the Jain principle of aparigraha), generosity, and
continuous learning. Like an unfolding metta meditation, the book
expands our notions of love to its most sublime universal state and
makes a great gift to share with those we love.
