Coming back to life

the updated guide to the work that reconnects

By Joanna Macy

In a world where environmental crises and social upheaval can leave us feeling overwhelmed and powerless, Joanna Macy and Molly Brown offer a transformative approach to navigating our collective challenges. Coming Back to Life presents a revolutionary framework called the Work that Reconnects, which has touched hundreds of thousands of lives across the globe.

Rather than dismissing difficult emotions as obstacles, this approach recognizes that grief, anger, and fear are natural and healthy responses to the threats facing our planet and communities. The authors demonstrate how acknowledging these feelings can actually liberate us from the paralysis and panic that often accompany awareness of our world's problems.

This comprehensive guide provides both theoretical understanding and practical tools for personal transformation and group facilitation. Macy and Brown address the unique anguish of our times with remarkable clarity, offering pathways out of apathy and into meaningful action. The updated edition expands its reach by exploring applications within corporate environments and engaging diverse communities, including youth and communities of color.

Through accessible methods and profound insights, Coming Back to Life shows readers how to transform their relationship with global challenges. The book serves as both personal counsel and practical manual, equipping individuals and groups with approaches that can fundamentally shift perspective and enhance capacity for positive change in the world.
