Bumbling Humans - by Lucinda J Garthwaite (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

If one thing is true about humans, it's that we are complex creatures. Our thoughts, histories, and experiences create unique perspectives about the world and how we interact with each other. Yet, time and again, we reveal our collective tendency to react from a place of fear. Across the socio-political spectrum, our responses to troubling questions, differences and missteps are severe, causing us to dehumanize one another and deny each other our inherent complexity.

With both thoughtful personal anecdotes and careful thinking about current historical events, Lucinda J. Garthwaite dives into the exercise of unashamed curiosity. The essays in Bumbling Humans return again and again to themes of compassion, restorative practice, and steady determination. Here readers will find hope, inspiration, and an invitation to align their day-to-day lives more closely with an increasingly thriving, just, and peaceful future.
