Trump. Again. Four more years … How will our minds and bodies survive—how will our souls not crumble into dust, explode from rage, or sink with grief? The answer: Be a Revolutionary: Someone who, amidst the mayhem, monotony, and magic of day-to day life, responds from their Best Self: with Authenticity, Beauty, Courage, Kindness, Strength, Gratitude, Laughter … Love. In this revolutionary redefinition of "Revolutionary," each and every response you make from your Best Self—to an anxious daughter, a belligerent customer, a Trump order—is a mini-Revolution that not only uplifts your present reality, but is a quantum step in the direction of a broader, deeper Revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we treat each other and the Earth we share. Being our Best-Self is Political—is Revolutionary. And Trump-time is a great time to be a Revolutionary. The work and play of this Revolution is captured in a series of engaging, energetic, often poetic pieces : "How Trump Can Make Us Great—for the First Time" "Are Introverts the Vanguard of the Revolution?" "A Revolutionary Is Not Afraid to Use the Word 'Soul'" "The 1% & The State" "Was Jesus a Revolutionary?" “The Father-Hole” “Who Needs Conspiracies When You Have Capitalism?” "Me, a Revolutionary??!" Peter Putnam brings in his own experience as a one-time communist revolutionary, community college teacher, and writer, as well as drawing deeply on the revolutionary ideas of Detroit activist Grace Lee Boggs, Karl Marx, psychologist Carl Jung, Law of Attraction practitioner Esther Hicks-Abraham, and the poems of Mary Oliver, Rilke, and Rumi. “Now is the time to grow our souls,” said Grace Boggs, and responding to the the ups, downs, and sideways of life is how we Revolutionaries grow them—both today, in the tumultuous time of Trump, and in the peaceful, prosperous, loving world we are creating for tomorrow. “Talkin’ Bout a Revolution: Growing Our Souls in the Time of Trump is passionate, personal, intelligent, accessible, based on deep reading and deep reserves of hope. Putnam’s vision of America’s possibility, while presented as revolutionary, is profoundly democratic.”--Rick Bailey, author of Drop and Add
