"Blessed Unrest is a beautiful, soulful, crucial book. It is a manifesto of hope for the
21st century grounded squarely in the hearts of engaged people around the planet."--Terry Tempest Williams,
author of The Open Space of Democracy
"In this chronicle of the groundswell with no name, we have found our Tocqueville, our Twain, and our Sinclair."
--Janine Benyus, author of Biomimicry
"Blessed Unrest is exciting, compelling, and very important....It will inspire and encourage millions
more to take action."--Jane Goodall, United Nations Ambassador for Peace
Blessed Unrest tells the story of a worldwide movement that is largely unseen by politicians or the
media. Hawken, an environmentalist and author, has spent more than a decade researching organizations
dedicated to restoring the environment and fostering social justice. From billion-dollar nonprofit organizations
to single-person causes, these organizations collectively comprise the largest movement on earth. This is a
movement that has no name, leader, or location but is in every city, town, and culture. It is organizing from
the bottom up and is emerging as an extraordinary and creative expression of people's needs worldwide.
