Autor Cornelia C. Walther
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 aug 2021
The book offers perspectives from change makers. It is intended to inspire readers to get involved in the pursuit of social transformation. The objective of is to make the causes and consequences, and the added value, of inclusive social change tangible. Using real life stories that draw on the power of the human being to inspire by example, BeingChange shows that ‘purpose for power’ is not a platitude, but a principle that favors both subjective wellbeing and social progress. The selected of formal and informal agents of change show why meaning is the undercurrent of genuine empowerment, and the main ingredient of sustainable development. The goal in sharing these stories is twofold, 1) Illustrate that no matter WHO and WHERE you are, and what you have, it is possible to align your life-long aspirations and every-day actions, and 2) Inspire readers to get started (or accelerate) their quest for purpose by identifying and pursuing what matters most to them. A network of likeminded thinkers and doers, connected by the shared belief that the World must not be accepted as a given, is growing around the world. Everyone is welcome to shift their perspective from passive to active and join.

Graciela Tonon, Professor of Quality of Life and Research Methodology, Universidad de Palermo, Argentina. Buenos Aires, Argentina “This book is a gift, because it is a reminder that no matter how small the step forward, if done mindfully, deliberately nurturing a compassion for self and others, we can model a way of being in relation to our surroundings that will nurture in others a respect for the collectivegood!”
Marielle Sander, UNFPA Representative, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
The book offers perspectives for and from change makers. Based on the POZE paradigm whereby individual existence is a composition of twice 4 dimensions the present perspectives illustrate the ongoing interplays at stake. Seeing life as an organically evolving kaleidoscope renders the abstract statement ‘We can change the World’ a pragmatic undertaking that begins at the core of the centre – the aspiration of individuals to change and be change. BeingChange seeks to inspire readers to get involved.Cornelia C. Walther combines praxis and research.
