The Regeneration Handbook: Transform Yourself to Transform the World

Leadership for the Great Transition--a changemaker’s toolkit for cultivating personal and community resilience

The Regeneration Handbook offers an abundance of insights, stories, tools, practices, and resources for experienced and aspiring changemakers to step into their full power at this time of unprecedented global crisis.

By introducing readers to a different kind of activism - based on universal patterns of Transformation, Expansion, Wholeness, and Balance - it points the way to a truly just and regenerative future.

Drawing on author Don Hall’s experience as a leader in the international Transition Towns Movement - as well as the work of dozens of regenerative thinkers and doers across many fields, including ecology, psychology, sociology, organizational development, and systems thinking - this book will help you:

• Better understand our current environmental, economic, and social polycrisis
• Develop a holistic and inspiring vision for the future
• Cultivate the confidence to lead and strengthen inner resilience
• Work effectively in collaborative groups and organizations
• Reach beyond the choir to engage people from all walks of life
• Design and implement practical projects that foster sustainability and justice

While none of us can change the world alone, we all have an important part to play in the Great Transition. By starting wherever we are and leaning into this historic challenge, we’ll discover our deepest purpose, realize our highest potential, and learn how to harness the power of regeneration to radically transform our lives, our communities, and our world.
