The Passionate Mind Revisited

Expanding Personal & Social Awareness

2009

"'Possibilism' frees you from unrealistic optimism and deadly pessimism."
- Joel & Diana

"...In a new approach they call 'possibilism,' authors Diana Alstad and Joel Kramer [in "Intelligence Without Design"] probably haven't solved the American culture wars. But they might have."
- Guernica magazine (July 2009)

"The Passionate Mind Revisited takes us on a liberating inner journey that can transform the way we look at ourselves and the world.
In this major new work from two of our brightest minds, Joel Kramer and Diana Alstad boldly address the idea that we are a species at risk and that we must pass through a process of 'conscious social evolution' if we are to survive. The authors assert that many of our social problems are products of our limited worldviews, beliefs, and identities and that we must understand and break through this lifetime of conditioning to see our lives and the world in a new way.
In its revelation of why conscious social evolution is both possible and necessary, The Passionate Mind Revisited speaks to thoughtful people of all ages interested in self-awareness and in creating an existence and a world defined by hope and possibility. Kramer and Alstad's provocative ideas show the vital role of human awareness in meeting humanity's evolutionary challenges."
