Praise for The Power of Acceptance
Praise for The Power of Acceptance: "The Power of Acceptance is a major ground-breaking contribution to the still early literature on the subject of community and represents a much needed new milestone for our exploration of this most vital of frontiers." -M. Scott Peck, M.D. Author of the best-selling The Road Less Traveled. "This outstanding book offers something for both the heart and the head. There are dramatic stories of personal transformation by people from all walks of life and also new scientific data showing how people change. If you wish to live more authentically, with increasing commitment to personal integrity, and you yearn for meaningful relationships, this is the book for you." Mary Ann Schmidt, President, The Foundation For Community Encouragement. "Based on studies of business and neighborhood groups creating community, this warmly-crafted book transforms the usual missives about self-help into an uplifting message about reaching out to others. It demonstrates the power of "hearing each other into speech" and affirms the possibilities of becoming, individually and collectively, our better selves." Philip H. Mirvis, Professor of Management and author of The Cynical Americans. "The Power of Acceptance is a wonderful book, full of healing and hope. It is a guidebook to freedom through authenticity. Using the tools of community building, the authors offer specific steps to breaking the shackles of "rugged individualism". An important book for gaining the freedom that is our birthright." John Gardiner, PhD, Professor of Educational Leadership - Seattle University.
