Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Van Jones said it well: If we're going to end this fiscal madness and start rebuilding America, we're going to have to get creative We need a tsunami of music, film, poetry and art. The Culture of Possibility shows us how creativity can take our story back from Corporation Nation, tilting the culture towards justice, equity, and innovation. I urge you to read this book We are in the midst of seismic cultural change. In the old paradigm, priorities are shaped by a mechanistic worldview that privileges whatever can be numbered, measured, and weighed; human beings are pressured to adapt to the terms set by their own creations. How we feel, how we connect, how we spend our time, how we make our way and come to know each other-these are all part of the scenery. In the new paradigm, things are given their true value. People care passionately about how they and the things they value are depicted. They revive themselves after a long workday with music or dance, by making something beautiful for themselves or their loved ones, by expressing their deepest feelings in poetry or watching a film that never fails to comfort. In the new paradigm, it is understood that culture prefigures economics and politics; it molds markets; and it expresses and embodies the creativity and resilience that are the human species' greatest strengths. The bridge between paradigms is being built by artists and others who have learned to deploy artists' cognitive, imaginative, empathic, and narrative skills. The bridge is made of the stories that the old paradigm can't hear, the lives that it doesn't count, the imagined future it can't encompass. Using first-person stories, drawing on both history and headlines, embracing new knowledge from education, medicine, cognitive science, spirituality, politics, and other realms, The Culture of Possibility shows why, how, and where we can build a bridge to a sustainable future.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In The Intercessor seasoned author Arlene Goldbard spins a tale of mystery, magic and healing in the visible and beyond-visible worlds. We meet Sharon, a diminutive, salty private investigator who finds herself serving as spiritual advisor to an unlikely assortment of folks in her small Jewish community. Allowing her characters to speak in their own voices, Goldbard reveals their redemptive journeys with wry humor and psychological savvy, weaving a rich tapestry of Jewish mystical lore and ultimately challenging readers to open our minds to the possibility of unseen powers guiding us all. A delightful and engrossing read! --Rabbi Diane Elliot, author of This Is the Day and Traces.A wise meditation on identity and values in today's polarising world, The Intercessor is rich in powerful narrative and vivid characters. Rarely have the spiritual and the everyday been brought into dialogue so convincingly. Though it is rooted in a distinctive culture, The Intercessor is universal in its sprit. I highly recommend this thoughtful novel to every reader with an open and curious heart. -François Matarasso, community artist and author of A Restless ArtIf Jewish renewal, and indeed our human species, survives and flourishes over the next thousand years, Arlene Goldbard's book will likely be part of the canon. -Barry Barkan, Ashoka Fellow, Founding Co-Director, Elders' Guild The Intercessor is a novel made of linked stories, each narrated by a different character. It asks how we make community. As the book unfolds, seven diverse members of the Jewish Renewal movement set out to refresh tradition to benefit the living, showing up in multiple worlds: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. They tell their stories of seeking love and healing, facing ethical and social predicaments, knowing when to join hands and when to walk their own paths. Sharon Marks is a private investigator with a sideline in mystery, magic, and healing. The six other people who each narrate a chapter seek her help in wrangling the thorniest challenges they've faced. Nomi Riordan is a blonde, blue-eyed former Baptist who was plagued in childhood by nightmares that end up inspiring her to convert. Jonathan Fox is a much-beloved Jewish Renewal rabbi who died of COVID in 2020 and shares his story from the world to come. Isamu Goodman is a young half-Ashkenazi/half-Okinawan man whose life is shaped by questions of identity, especially as the Israel-Gaza war unfolds. Along with the other characters, they face and overcome dilemmas including abusive leaders, malicious online gossip, and relationships gone terribly wrong, bringing the wisdom of the past and their own experiences to the needs of the present. They are very different, but even in times like these, all desire the same things: to live in truth, to offer care, to receive love, to experience true presence.…
