Lappe, Francis Moore — Toward Understanding the Predicament

Posted on March 7th, 2008 in American History, American Society, Education, Law, Politics by admin

There is a lot of discussion about hope in this time of the pending election for president.  Francis Moore Lappe, author of “Diet for a Small Planet,” discusses the need to give up some old assumptions in her new book “Getting a Grip: Clarity, Creativity and Courage in a World Gone Mad.” One path to abandoning old assumptions comes from curiosity, which is also a guiding principal for this program When I visited with Francis Moore Lappe on Feburary 20, 2008, from her office in Cambridge, Massachusetts, we discussed curiousity and her reflection that she should have included “curiousity” in her title of “Getting a Grip.”

The book she recommends is “The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe,” by Lynne Mctaggart.
