If I had but one book to spend hard-earned cash on this year, [The Lifelong Activist] would be it, hands down. – Daily Kos

People often ask how I manage to continue devoting myself to progressive activism (such as the free software movement) for years without burning out. The best way I can answer is by recommending…The Lifelong Activist. —Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software movement and
MacArthur Fellow

Global warming, poverty, homelessness, or other pressing problems; take your pick—and then use the organizing and time-management tools in The Lifelong Activist to change the world. — Adam Hochschild, author of Bury The Chains and King Leopold’s Ghost

“[The Lifelong Activist] is about becoming more useful and effective as an activist or artist. I recommend that you take a look at it.” –Salon.com

"...a strange blend of realism and idealism. I like the way you cut through the romance and deal with the nitty gritty in a way that is powerful and uplifting." – Reader, Chicago, IL

"...The Lifelong Activist is incredibly important and has no doubt helped people make the world a better place. I first read it as I began to burnout a few years into my life as an activist. It helped
me a great deal and has helped me support others." – Reader, Toronto, ON
