I've decided only to produce an Amazon Kindle version of "The Imperfect Idealist & 40 other Cases of Restorative Justice" in 2011; available on request. The challenge I'm up for here is whether Kindle owners will be open to non-Kindle owners asking to borrow a Kindle to read a book about building a more caring, sharing world around each of us: www.isharekindles.blogspot.com

What is the most valuable thing I have to give you?

1) My life? (which has mostly been plagiarism)
2) The life story by a Buddhist nun, already entitled "I give you my life"?
3) Most of Sangharakshita's writings (free on the www.sangharakshita.org website) and available on Amazon Kindles from www.freelender.org ?
4) the distillation of all I've been through on the meditation cushion, and off, into a smile made especially for you?

Lend-It-All-Man & The Moneyless Man

Five themes in "The Imperfect Idealist" book:

1) Justice and communication between 'victims', óffenders' and the community'
2) Sharing i.e. moving on from "mass consumption", through "collaborative consumption"and on to "collaborative conservation"
3) Taking Responsibility in a Global context; particularly in relation to human rights eg in India
4) Cultivating kindness to self and other, whatever our respective histories.
5) Reviewing one's life and making corrections so that we are all able to live in our realistic dreams more fully.

Order your copy of "The Imperfect Idealist" now

Described by his defence barrister as "the most idealistic man I've ever met", Paul Crosland begins this autobiographical story aged 44, working as a charity fund-raiser, knocking door to door in London, in order to end the caste system in India. The plan is to publish The Imperfect Idealist in 2011 for a £20 cover price; or £10 if you order the version for Amazon Kindle. Please place pre-orders via the Mediation Support Ltd contact form.

As the book is being edited at present, I welome offers from friends to read three chapters and a synopsis of the whole, then give me feedback.
Alternatively, just give feedback on the themes of this blog, by adding comments where you see fit.
All feedback is valued by me, though some, of course, is harder to receive.

About Me

Paul Crosland: Independent Candidate (2019-2029), promoting grassroots manifestoes (your 4-10 priority points) brought to form a convergent constituency manifesto. Nationally I promote the Democratic Custom -no law change needed- "50 percent To Elect An MP" (& thus a "Deeper Legitimacy Parliament"). Locally I work on building non-monetary economic forms of rebuilding communiites.
