The Lifelong Activist: How to Change the World Without Losing Your Way (Lantern Books, 2006) shows you how to live a happy and productive life that includes a strong progressive mission. Whether you’re an activist, organizer, artist, student, teacher, human services worker, volunteer, or simply a concerned citizen, The Lifelong Activist will teach you the five key disciplines that bring success. They are:

  • Managing Your Mission – uncovering your authentic self, including your true goals and needs;
  • Managing Your Time – so you can create a schedule to achieve those goals and meet those needs;
  • Managing Your Fears – so you can get past procrastination, perfectionism, negativity, hypersensitivity, fears and blocks, and actually follow your schedule;
  • Managing Your Relationship With Self – so you can become the most empowered “you“ you can be; and,
    Managing Your Relationship With Others – so you can leverage your skills and talents with those of others.
