Her book the Aquarian Conspiracy is now 26 years old, and when it came out it shocked many people and outraged some others. With hindsight, it was an important catalyst toward some new and important ways of engaging with the problems facing us all.

This new book is wise, well written and acutely insightful. Her passionate optimism is no New Age fluff, but is grounded in experience and science.

This really is a Must Read for anyone with any interest at all in our future. And that should be all of us!

Marilyn Ferguson has done it again. Succinctly, she weaves together the threads of science, psychology, and sociology to deliver a compelling message that we are hungry for.

Aquarius Now builds an undeniable case and guide for freeing ourselves with Radical Common Sense, the hyper sense of today.

This book is for the molders and shapers of today who want not to control their lives but to be in command of it! Ferguson invites us to be self-leaders, and then she provides us with a guide, to paraphrase Gandhi, to be the change we want to see in the world.

She includes well-documented quotes, research and examples for us to grasp while repeatedly cautioning us not to become addicted to the Cult of Numbers.

The chapter on the brain and the importance of teaching really charged my neurons. She provides one of the best arguments I have read on why we must focus on increasing human intelligence rather than trying to measure it.

From her enduring wisdom she reminds us it is the individual that benefits first, and society second. Through the process of internal "common sensing," which is the effective use of our multifaceted, paradoxical multiple personality--the community of learners within us--that harvests our expanded intelligence and opens the door to greater understanding, experience and vision. We can then deliberately increase the collective intelligence by passing it on to others. It is this process that shapes society.

It is best stated in her own words, "The ferment and viability in any society is directly proportionate to the number of people actively living their ideas. This is not positive thinking--it is positive action--the spirit of experiment." Spread the word!

Armchair Interviews says: What can you do? Read the book! It is not a gauntlet being thrown but a gentle request to join her in a place where life is good and of our own choosing.
