Lappe, Francis Moore — Toward Understanding the Predicament
There is a lot of discussion about hope in this time of the pending election for president. Francis Moore Lappe, author of, “Diet for a Small Planet,” discusses the need to give up certain old assumptions in her new book, “Getting a Grip: Clarity, Creativity and Courage in a World Gone Mad.” One path to abandoning old assumptions comes from curiosity, which is also a guiding principal for this program. When I visited with Francis Moore Lappe on Feburary 20, 2008, from her office in Cambridge, Massachusetts, we discussed curiosity and her reflection that she should have included “curiosity” in her title of, “Getting a Grip.”
The book she recommends is, “The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe,” by Lynne McTaggart.
