I wanted to like this, but he uses a few too many simplistic examples that actually undermine his argument when looked at in their whole complexity. For example: he uses Rosa Parks as an example of an individual changing the world with small actions, completely ignoring (the way most people do) her years of involvement with civil rights and her knowledge of strategy and tactics. Flinthoff is so focused on individuals he pays no attention to the effectiveness of individuals banded together in organizations. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

How To Change The World combines insights from Tolstoy, Gandhi and Sartre and outlines a refreshing theory of political power, giving examples of successful non-violent action from across the world, from the start of recorded history to the present day. Of course, we don't all need to topple dictators, but any attempt to change the status quo requires us to overcome inertia, indifference and perhaps active hostility from people who feel threatened. This book explores the idea that we can break down our goals into small pieces, and highlights that there will never be a better time to start. Bursting with ideas, this book will give you a sense of what might just be possible, as well as the inspiration and the courage you need to go about improving and changing the world we live in.
