About this listen

From social theorist and psychotherapist Rabbi Michael Lerner comes a strategy for a new socialism built on love, kindness, and compassion for one another. Revolutionary Love proposes a method to replace what Lerner terms the "capitalist globalization of selfishness" with a globalization of generosity, prophetic empathy, and environmental sanity.

Lerner challenges liberal and progressive forces to move beyond often weak-kneed and visionless politics to build instead a movement that can reverse the environmental destructiveness and social injustice caused by the relentless pursuit of economic growth and profits. Revisiting the hidden injuries of class, Lerner shows that much of the suffering in our societyincluding most of its addictions and the growing embrace of right-wing nationalism and reactionary versions of fundamentalismis driven by frustrated needs for community, love, respect, and connection to a higher purpose in life. Yet these needs are too often missing from liberal discourse. No matter that progressive programs are smartly constructedthey cannot be achieved unless they speak to the heart and address the pain so many people experience.

Lerner asks that we develop the courage to stop listening to those who tell us that fundamental social transformation is "unrealistic."

The book is published by University of California Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.
