GLOBAL SENSE Book Launched Today

Announcing the launch for the 2012 edition of the book, GLOBAL SENSE, by award-winning journalist Judah Freed.

Hoku House in Hawaii today announced the launch for the 2012 edition of GLOBAL SENSE: A spiritual handbook on the nature of society and how to change the world by changing ourselves.

Previous editions of the book by international journalist Judah Freed have won regional and national awards as the best personal growth book and the best social change book. Global Sense has been featured on C-SPAN BookTV.

"The earlier editions focused on politics with an undercurrent of personal growth," Freed said. "The primary focus now is spiritual growth as the means of changing our lives and our world."

The revised book is more practical, too, he added. "The chapters are filled with concrete things people can do in their daily lives to make a difference. The book brings our highest ideals down to earth where we can use them."

Freed said he chose today as the launch date because on January 10, 1776, Thomas Paine first published Common Sense, the essay that inspired Global Sense.

"Common Sense was a revolutionary call to action that united colonial Americans behind the cause of independence," Freed explained. "Global Sense calls for an evolutionary shift of consciousness into seeing our global interdependence, the deep connectivity that empowers each of us to change the world by changing ourselves."

"Global Sense is the handbook needed by the Occupy Wall Street movement," said Jerry Ashton, a blogger at The Huffington Post, and the author of Written Off: America & Americans

"Democracy can work, Freed argues, when we are willing to do the personal and spiritual growth needed to manage our freedom and society responsibly," said Thom Hartmann, talk radio host and author of Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight.

"The book is a declaration of our global interdependence," said Dr. Vandana Shiva of India, author of Earth Democracy.

"Thomas Paine rallied Americans to a new sense of themselves and their possibilities. Judah Freed does likewise for citizens of the planet," said Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy.

Author Judah Freed has asked potential readers to make sure they buy only the new 2012 edition, not the older editions. "Those were good books," he said, "but they only laid the groundwork for this new edition."

The 2012 edition of Global Sense may be found on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/dp/0972890580.

Judah Freed is a media and politics journalist who has published more than a thousand articles and columns in leading consumer and media trade magazines in the U.S. and Europe. Born and raised in Denver, Colorado, he moved to Hawaii in 2010 to marry photographer, and author Melissa Mojo, formerly of New York City.
