DESCRIPTION:"Michael Goldstein is a genuine love warrior and justice seeker. His heart, 
 mind, soul and voice empower us all in these turbulent times."   — Cornel 
 West\n\nAre you tired of trying to make those beholden to the wrong people 
 do the right thing?\n\nDecades of electoral work and activism have failed 
 to bring us sustainability, peace, or a just society. Blessed 
 Disillusionment: Letting Go of What Cannot Save Us, Turning to What Can 
 shows that there is a reason: the political system operates to absorb 
 discontent while averting the fundamental change we urgently 
 need.\n\nBlessed Disillusionment also explains why the crises and upheaval 
 we see in the U.S. will inevitably increase. The question is whether our 
 country will fall to neofascism or ascend to true democracy and, in time, 
 the beloved community.\n\nFinally, the book offers a path towards building 
 a massive, nonviolent, but truly revolutionary movement — one based on 
 love melded with clear-eyed realism — that will allow us to pass on to 
 our children a society where they truly govern themselves, in the interests 
 of all.\n\nMichael Goldstein worked until recently as an appellate lawyer, 
 handling death-penalty and other indigent cases. He is a graduate of 
 Princeton's School of Public and International Affairs and Stanford Law 
 School. His previous book was Return of the Light: A Political Fable in 
 Which the American People Retake Their Country. He most recently worked in 
 the movement against police violence, spent nearly three weeks with Water 
 Protectors at Standing Rock, and ran for Nancy Pelosi’s House seat under 
 the slogan, “New faces in Congress cannot stop the rise of fascism or 
 bring us a caring society. Michael will use the office to help build the 
 movement that can.”\n
