"Developmental Politics is essential reading for those who are
concerned about the dysfunctional condition of America's democracy.
..."
-- John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods Markets, and coauthor of
Conscious Capitalism "Is there a world beyond polarization! Indeed
there is. In this inspired and brilliant work Steve McIntosh
presents a richly conceived integral agenda and evolutionary
strategy for the development of culture and consciousness."
-- Jean Houston, Ph.D., Chancellor of Meridian University and
author of many books on human development "Steve McIntosh is an
incredibly deep and clear thinker ... This book is just what we
need at this troubled time in history."
-- Tony Schwartz, bestselling author and CEO of The Energy Project
"If I could prescribe one book for every Democrat or Progressive
candidate and campaign to read (ASAP!) ... it would be Steve
McIntosh's Developmental Politics. It's brilliant, well-written,
and, I believe, just what the doctor ordered for our ailing body
politic."
-- Brian D. McLaren, author of The Great Spiritual Migration
"McIntosh persuasively argues that an enlarged understanding of
cultural evolution can help us reclaim our collective aspirations
for social progress. This important study is a must read!"
-- Michael E. Zimmerman, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of Philosophy,
University of Colorado at Boulder "This is the right book for
what's next in our politics, both nationally and personally. I
found McIntosh's description of the practice of values integration
to be instantly indispensable."
-- Jeff Salzman, Host of the Daily Evolver Podcast
