"I hope that our people, who are struggling for democracy in Burma,

will be able to learn much from your book.  

I hope that you will be able to help us in our struggle,

"Evolving the Spirit is a serious and thoughtful work about conflict, 

leadership and the importance of forgiveness 

and it deserves and I hope reaches, a wide audience" 


TONY BENN

(Former secretary of state & democracy campaigner)



"Remarkable and heartening stuff"


JOHN SIMPSON

(BBC World Affairs Editor)



"I don't have a faith but your book has changed my life"


CHRIS DARWIN

(Conservationist & g-g-grandson of Charles Darwin)



"A challenge to the way most people in the world think and act, 

this book sets out personal precepts for a life well lived 

and a world that is gentler, kinder and more just."


PETER TATCHELL

(Human rights activist)



"Your words are moving and a masterpiece"


MIKE BLISSETT

(Life-skills guru)



"I welcome this book. It is a fine exploration of a dimension that is all too frequently overlooked in the Western world; that of the human spirit. This timely book gives voice to the growing awareness today that to create a deeper democracy and a more peaceful world, matters of heart and spirit must take centre stage, both in private and public spheres. It is my hope that it will stimulate a wider debate and foster positive change."


JANE OZANNE

(Founder of 'Spirit of Peace')



"As I read your book, I am struck with your depth and scholarship. It is a long time since I have come across such a profound work."


CHOWDHURY MUEEEN-UDDIN

(Co-founder of the Muslim Council of Britain, Vice-Chairman of East London Mosques)



"In this gem of a guide, Russell encourages us to know that we are not alone on our journey. 

I commend it to all that seek personal development and are part of the emerging global community, determined to build a better world."


PROFESSOR JULIA HAUSERMANN

(Founder & president of  'Rights and Humanity')



"Good luck with your important work.  All power to you!"
