In this first interview for Evolutionary Change, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Rob Hopkins, co-founder of the international Transition Towns Movement, about two forthcoming projects: his latest book, How to Fall in Love with the Future: A Time Traveller’s Guide to Changing the World, and an ambient-electronic music album, Field Recordings from the Future.

If the majority continues to misunderstand the true causes of the Great Unraveling and doesn’t see a better option than trying in vain to preserve the past, we may end up falling again and again for charlatans like Trump.

Was it worth it, in the end? Who can say? It would be impossible to quantify all of the direct impacts created by the Regenerative Communities Roadshow, let alone their unknown ripple effects.

If we get through the coming time of great troubles to a sustainable and just society it will be via a Transition Towns movement of some kind. Don Hall’s book is his latest contribution in his long history of working for the movement.

“Hello! My name is Don Hall and I’m grateful to Boulder Bookstore for inviting me to record this author Q&A about The Regeneration Handbook: Transform Yourself to Transform the World.”

As some of you know, for the better part of the past two years, I’ve been writing a book. It’s called The Regeneration Handbook: Transform Yourself to Transform the World and is currently available to pre-order from New Society Publishers.
