How to Care More

Reviews / Votes

In her book How to Care More: Seven Skills for Personal and Social Change, Miranda Campbell describes the importance of building the skills of care, an ability to listen deeply, gaining informed consent, creative collaboration, cultivating inclusion, self-care and love, and remaining resilient in the face of adversity. As humanity and our world hang in the balance, Miranda's call to engagement and to promoting soft skills into essential strengths is crucial, powerful, and compelling. Either we collectively learn how to care more or we perish. This book offers us a pathway for being part of the solution as we strive to build a better world for ourselves and future generations. Highly recommended! -- Wilson C. Hurley, George Mason University In a world lacking care, Campbell has brought forth a call for our collective consciousness to embrace and enact collaborative and inclusive ways of caring. Finding ourselves on multiple brinks of ecological disaster, human tragedy, global sadness, and fear, she names the ways in which we continue to obfuscate, detour, and dismantle ourselves and our planet and then reminds us of human capabilities to make radical and caring change. -- Shirley Steinberg, Research Professor of Critical Youth Studies, The University of Calgary How to Care More is a deeply personal statement told with passion and optimism about the value of caring. At the same time it is an invitation, even a plea, to care for ourselves, for others, for our society, and for our planet. Miranda Campbell draws on lessons from her personal experience as she sets out simple, if elegant, ways we can address the individual and collective crises facing us today. In an inspiring book, How to Care More reminds us that each of us has the potential to initiate and bring about social change. -- Michael Lang, Mediator, author, mentor We are living in times where our past definition of caring - as an intention, or an organizational mission even - doesn't go far enough in addressing the inequities of our world today, and tomorrow. This book tackles the fascinating topic of putting a powerful, foundational concept like caring into concrete behaviors, actions, and impact. The skills of caring can be like a muscle we build, a lens through which we enact our voice in the world, and deepen our commitments to each other. This books lays out these steps and ensures we each feel equipped to re-calibrate and move forward to ever-greater impact. -- Jennifer Brown, Founder and CEO, Jennifer Brown Consulting; Author, Inclusion (2017), How to be an Inclusive Leader (2019), and Beyond Diversity (2021)
