Anthea Lawson is an activist and author. Over the past two decades she has campaigned on many issues – political and environmental – launching an award-winning campaign for transparency over company ownership at Global Witness, which resulted in changes to the law in dozens of countries, as well as spearheading successful campaigns for an Arms Trade Treaty, and the international ban on cluster bombs. In addition to Global Witness she also worked for Amnesty International and has been arrested with Extinction Rebellion.
'A wise, rich and crucial book, which is helping me to do better, and will help many others.' —George Monbiot 'Read it and weep, laugh, cringe and sigh... It might support your work to be more effective, it might help you to understand yourselves (there’s more than one you!) and others better; ultimately it might bring more compassion and togetherness in a broken world.' —Dr. Gail Bradbrook, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion 'Campaigning always looks very ‘black and white’ – you're either for or against something. But it really isn't like that! With decades of hard-earned experience as a campaigner, with many highs and lows along the way, Anthea Lawson's provocative book provides us with deep insights into the tactical, emotional and ethical complexities of campaigning – and, in particular, of how best to set about saving the world.' —Sir Jonathon Porritt 'Anthea Lawson has written an urgent book, a scintillating call to match our outer activism with inner self-awareness. And this, not just to win campaigns, but towards the deeper transformation of the world.' —Professor Alastair McIntosh, author of Soil and Soul and Spiritual Activism
