Rebalancing the World

<p>For all of our progress the world stubbornly retains a male-dominated competitive streak. Certainly the emphasis our culture places on enterprise has given us much but what have we sacrificed along the way? Carol Lee Flindersargues that the more ancient values of Belonging (mutuality cooperation and generosity) traditionally associated with women have been subsumed by thoseof Enterprise (individualism competitiveness and materialism) associated with men. In the lives of visionaries artists and mystics such as the Buddha BaalShem Tov Teresa of Avila Elizabeth Cady Stanton John Muir and Martin Luther King Jr. Flinders offers models for a new kind of balance. <em>Rebalancing the World</em> urges us to incorporate the values we are missing in our lives for the sense of wholeness we all seek.</p>
