I am so honored to be one of the New Radicals featured in Julia Moulden’s fantastic book, We are the New Radicals: A Manifesto for Reinventing Yourself and Saving the World,
which was just published last month. And it was tremendously inspiring
to meet many of the other New Radicals at the book launch event in New
York City a few weeks ago - not to mention finally getting to meet
Julia in person.
I had spoken to Julia on the phone several times as she interviewed
me for the book last spring, and based on our conversations, I was
really looking forward to meeting her. She’s an accomplished writer who
coined the term New Radical as a way to define the emerging trend of
ordinary people (just like you!) finding ways to do good in the world.
On top of that she’s engaging, energetic, funny and articulate - just
the kind of person you want more of in your life.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I starting reading her book (and I
never got used to seeing myself quoted, even when I knew it was coming)
but wow - was I impressed by what a great job she did. Julia’s writing
style is so appealing and she thoughtfully presents the unique stories
of the New Radicals she spoke to, interweaving their experiences and
insights into a compelling narrative. She also provides practical
advice and examples of what you can do to join the New Radical movement
- whether you want to embark on a completely new path, as I did, or
just reinvent yourself in your current career.
I’ve already recommended the book to several friends who’ve told me how much they’ve enjoyed it. Check out Julia’s website and learn more about how to order the book and how you can become a New Radical too.
