The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community
by David Korten
The Great Turning is an essential resource for those who understand the need
for fundamental change. It cuts through the complexity of our time to illuminate a simple, but elegant truth. We humans live
by stories. We are held captive to the ways of Empire by a cultural trance of our own creation--indeed, one need look no further
than our popular culture and the way it is magnified in TV, movies, and other mass media to see how this paradigm is reflected
back upon us all everyday.
Changing our future begins with changing our stories in a way that includes our capacities
for compassion, cooperation, responsible self-direction, and self-organizing partnership. This is a work already underway,
and to succeed, it ultimately will call for the participation of every person on the planet. In The Great Turning, David Korten
points the way to the inspiring outcome within our reach.

"An epic work. Exposes the myths that divide us and frames the stories that can bring us together."
