Getting a Grip 2

In Getting a Grip 2, Frances Moore Lappe, author of the groundbreaking Diet for a Small Planet, speaks to everyone distressed by the state of our world. In a vibrant, intimate voice, she challenges us to re-examine outdated assumptions about who we are and how the world works. She then weaves surprising facts and stories of courage into a novel narrative of meaning and action. Drawing on breakthroughs from neuroscience to anthropology, Lapp offers us a way of seeing possibility based not in wishful thinking but hard evidence. Getting a Grip 2, thoroughly rewritten for this moment, shows us how reframing the very meaning of democracy, power, fear, courage, and even hope itself, can free us to create the lives and the world we really want. Lapp's startling message leaves readers feeling liberated and courageous.
