SUMMARY:Hope For Life on Our Planet
DESCRIPTION:Join us online on Wednesday\, 9 September at 12:30 PM EST to discuss the book Hope for Life on Our Planet: Inspiration for Seven Generations with Jonathan Granoff\, one of the books extraordinary authors and created by Osvald Bjelland. Rather than try to describe this amazing name\, please look here. \nHope for Life on Our Planet is a collective testament to human potential: 64 contributors from around the world—activists\, artists\, scientists\, ecologists\, philosophers\, CEOs\, poets\, spiritual leaders\, and more— share what hope means in the 21st century. Recognized presenters include Nobel Peace Prize Laureates Oscar Arias\, Narges Mohammadi and Oleksandra Matviichuk\, United Nations Messenger of Peace Dame Jane Goodall\, His Holiness Pope Francis\, Chairman of Verizon\, Hans Vestberg\, President of the World Bank\, Ajay Banga\, and many others who demonstrate by their lives’ work inspiring reasons for hope. \nREGISTER HERE \nYes\, humankind is vulnerable—but at its best\, it is also mighty. When we recognize our deep interconnection and lean into our greatest strength—our ability to unite for a common cause—there is little that cannot be overcome. \nGSI President Granoff says about The Charter of Compassion: “Without compassion diversity can become distorted into adversity. With it\, justice and thus peace becomes possible. Compassion brings deep understanding from which our differences can bring insight rather than the poison or prejudice and fear. Bringing this exalted quality into education and policies is the height of activism. It is an honor to be on this podcast.” \nGet the book here. \nJoin Jonathan and award-winning journalist Jennifer Nadel on the Charter For Compassion podcast\, With Compassion.
