You are more powerful than you think
A call to rethink how we make a difference in a world marked by tensions and difficult choices, from a leading community organiser and co-founder of GetUp.
“Epic read! A powerful reminder that change begins when you stop asking for permission.” — Senator Fatima Payman
Many of us feel that meaningful change is beyond our reach, whether due to global crises like war and climate change or pressures closer to home.
Conscious Tribes describes a way forward. Drawing on stories from Sydney to Hong Kong, and from schoolrooms to boardrooms, Amanda Tattersall reveals how we build meaningful, lasting change, and how we can shape it with others.
By mapping the paradoxes of public life — big and small, ‘power over’ and ‘power with’, curiosity and judgement — we gain a clearer grasp on the defining challenges of our time. Making a difference means navigating them with others in ‘conscious tribes’: groups that change the world around us and ourselves.
draws on decades of work building organisations, movements and campaigns, grounded in the stories of activists and unlikely agitators. It is an antidote to dark times by insisting we are more powerful than we think, asking us to reimagine the difference we can all make.
