About the Book

This is the author Robin Youngson writing directly to you... If you are a social or environmental activist, reading this little book might be the best investment you ever make. If I had known and understood these lessons earlier, it might have spared me a decade of wasted effort. I want to let you know you can also download an e-book version of my book for FREE on my website at www.herotohealer.org. I'm not crazy, I just want my work to live within the gift economy. If you value my book, you can choose to pay a 'donation' price - or just enjoy it for free. I'm a practising doctor in New Zealand and an internationally renowned leader in compassionate healthcare. I really care about building a better world. Here's the question that really bugs me: "Despite our persistent efforts, and high-profile campaigns involving millions of people, why are we not making more progress on social and environmental issues?" Instead, we are witnessing more poverty, more inequality, more chronic disease, more social breakdown, worsening pollution, and ever-increasing carbon emissions?" Could it be that the strategies we employ as activists are actually sustaining the problems we're trying to address? As honestly as I can, I share with you the five BIGGEST mistakes I made in a decade of campaigning, and how my counter-intuitive new strategies led to international success. My book builds on a TEDx talk I gave in 2016 (youtu.be/jTYSzLtbYTU). It's entitled "Perfectly broken and ready to heal". People really liked my talk but I'm not going to share their comments here. One of my new rules is non-persuasion. I just offer this book as a gift. I really hope it helps you and your great work.
About the Author: Dr Robin Youngson is a practising anesthesiologist in New Zealand, internationally renowned for his leadership in humane and compassionate healthcare. Starting his campaign in 2004, he challenged a world of healthcare so driven by science and technology that a Google search couldn't find the word 'compassion' in any healthcare curriculum or strategy document. His work was ignored by the medical professions for a decade but now there's an explosion of interest in the caring aspects of healthcare. As a highly sought-after speaker, he's presented widely in Australia and NZ, the USA and Canada, Hong Kong and Singapore, the Middle East, in the UK and Europe. Together with his wife, Meredith, he is co-founder of the international movement, Hearts in Healthcare (www.heartsinhealthcare.com). Robin is on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Compassionate Healthcare, and is a member of the Global Compassion Council of the Charter for Compassion. In 2016 he was awarded the highest honour of the New Zealand Medical Association, the Chair's Award. He's the author of the book, 'TIME TO CARE - How to love your patients and your job', which is also published in Dutch and German. Robin and Meredith share a passion for community and the natural environment. They live in the small seaside town of Raglan, New Zealand, a beautiful place full of surfers, hippies, healers, artists, entrepreneurs, environmentalists, and passionate community leaders. Raglan is famous for having one of the world's best left-hand surf breaks, the highest rate of rubbish recycling of any community in NZ, a pioneering harbour restoration program, and a tongue-in-cheek Facebook Group for the people who just want to complain about everything!
