EVVY
AWARD - BEST PERSONAL GROWTH BOOK OF THE
YEAR!
"Global
Sense is an awesome work that's urgently needed
for our times. This is the type of book you read
and then want to buy for all of your friends,
relatives and neighbors.... An incredibly
well-researched and documented book."
-- Colorado
Independent Publishers
Association
"Global Sense calls
people of the world to a vision of peace and self
rule. International journalist Freed makes his case
that in this time of global unrest, we the people
must begin a new way of thinking and acting."
-- ForeWord
Magazine
"Freed asked
himself, what would Paine write if he was living
today? The result is a provocative, inspiring essay
that offers fresh hope for liberty."
-- Thom Hartmann, author of
What
Would Jefferson Do? and Cracking the
Code
"Judah Freed reminds us of the continuing
relevance of American patriot Thomas Paine while
transforming Paine's message of democracy and human
rights into the spiritually-rich and
psychologically-informed discourse of the 21st
century. "
--Rabbi Michael Lerner, editor of Tikkun
magazine, chair of the
Network
of Spiritual
Progressives
"Judah Freed
has revisited Thomas Paine's Common Sense
for the reawakening of democracy.... Global
Sense is about personal and social
transformation, starting with the inner self
feeling a genuine recognition of our rights and
responsibilities. The book is a declaration of
global interdependence."
-- Dr. Vandana Shiva, author of
Stolen
Harvest and Earth
Democracy?
"Freed
proposes a cultural/political Big Bang. The
breakthrough theme of this important book is that
we can have both safety and liberty. In a
world distracted by authority addiction, he argues,
we empower each other by empowering ourselves."
-- David Wann, co-author of
Affluenza,
author of Reinventing
Community
"We are more
convinced than ever there is a hunger for this kind
of integrative global perspective. I am extremely
enthusiastic about the book."
-- Frances Moore Lappé,
author of Diet
For a Small Planet and Getting a
Grip
"Read Global Sense!"
-- Pete Seeger, folksinger and activist
"Global Sense brings alive in the 21st
century the spirit, insight and courage of Thomas
Paine's writings. It makes 'global sense' to read
this book, then to act mindfully and consciously to
make a difference in the world."
-- Thomas
Crum,
author of The Magic of Conflct,
Three Deep Breaths, Your Journey to Center
"Modern culture struggles at the crossroads of
reckless technology and the duty to uncover the
spirit on which the healing of mankind rests.
Global Sense helps us choose the path of
healing."
-- Malidoma Somé, author of Ritual:
Power, Healing & Community
"Fans
of [the film] What the Bleep Do We
Know!? will get some more ideas from this
book."
-- Marsha Doyenne, Essentials
Bookstore
"The book is
fascinating, and certainly useful."
-- Joanne Greenberg, author
of I
Never Promised You a Rose Garden
"If there's
ever been a time for Common Sense (both
uppercase and lower) this is it. Judah Freed's
update of the Thomas Paine classic is perfect for
our tumultuous times, showing old fans and
newcomers alike just how these principles, first
published in 1776, remain applicable in the 21st
Century."
-- Howard Rothman, author of
Companies
With A Conscience
" Freed is
accurate and faithful to Paine at every turn and I
thank him for that; it is rare."
-- Ken Burchell, Thomas Paine
Historian
"I wish that I had access to a book like this
when I was in college. I know that I would have
retained much more information because it is
written in a way that is interesting and not like a
dry textbook. In college, I did what I needed to
pass the required philosophy and political science
courses. I did not retain much. Today I find myself
sadly lacking information in these areas and unable
to contribute to a decent conversation on these
matters. I really feel like "Global Sense" has
helped to fill in the gaps where I am lacking. I
highly recommend it to people who are interested in
philosophy and political science, and people like
myself who have some catching up to do."

Paige Lovitt,
Reviewer for ReaderViews.com
(2006)
"Global
Sense weaves together history, ethics, and the
battle of the sexes into a friendly, accessible
inquiry into our natural rights, liberties, and
responsibilities on planet earth.... Global
Sense makes us aware that we can make a
difference. We can evolve. We can express our
spirituality to affect public policy, to
assertively practice personal democracy.... Freed's
theories seem more applicable with the onslaught of
every worldwide crisis. .... The author takes
readers on a ride as extraordinary as the first
astronauts must have felt. He is destined to be
touted as one of the great thinkers of our
generation."
