Reviews of Michael
J. Cohen's previous books* and programs |
||
|
"Dr.
Cohen offers an environmentally sound, hands-on educational process
that reduces apathy, motivates peace and promotes mental health.
It fulfills our personal and economic needs, deeper ideals and
spirit. His work deserves the attention of those who seek to
reverse our troubles." "Its impact
lies in the fact that the author has lived its wisdom for these
past twenty years.. I have learned first hand that its theories
prove themselves in the fruition that its education delivers.
It offers the medicine that disillusioned humanity and the endangered
environment needs." "Dr. Cohen's
compelling application of ecopsychology connects us with the
often ignored source of spirit and wellness found in nature.
His deeply felt chapters catalyze conscious sensory contacts
with the natural world and bind us to energies that heal our
deeper being." "A pioneer
in the environmental education movement. Participant's learn
to learn, learn that all subjects are interrelated with one another
and themselves. Most of all they develop an interest in themselves."
"This
is not a reading experience; it's a hologram. It is communicating
through talking leaves, something of what whales communicate
to each other...you are there." "Delightful,
illuminating communication at its best--contains stories and
guidance for experiencing Nature in the full thrill of her presence.
" "Helps people make a profound connection
between their psychological health, their sense of well being
and the health of the environment by becoming aware of all the
sensory experiences nature offers." "A fantastic book that's right on track." |

"A remarkable
book: a do it yourself ecopsychology process that enables any
school or individual to build responsible community and environmental
relationships. It's a must for educators who want to engage students
in meaningful education filled with concern for creation." "This
is the course that every civilized person will be required to
take to reverse our runaway disorders." "This
book gently blends wholeness and critical thinking. It offers
the powerful dimensions of intuition and sense of place to those
who want to support responsible action toward the natural world." "This
fascinating literary work recycles your thinking. Cohen goes
beyond simply exploring a relationship between psychology and
ecology. He lets the natural world give us new ways to reason
and consciously participate in our relationship with natural
systems." "Enables
us to support and apply our good judgment, innate knowledge and
visions for a better tomorrow. Here is an environmental educator
who teams up with Earth to create a vehicle of hope." "This
timely sound theory and well grounded experience demands its
use by enlightened people. It should become mainstream in any
society struggling to find connectedness and meaning in life.
It allows the natural world to nurture a responsible growing
edge of culture." "The activities
work; they move students. I see a significant improvement in
their self-esteem and value. They discover an integrity outside
themselves that they find to be a truth within themselves." "It's
great. He's so right to make the responsibility for living on
good terms with Gaia a personal one. It's always from an individual's
activities that good and bad things come. "Mike
Cohen is a crackerjack teacher. What counts is that his words
help us do what we must do to save ourselves and GAIA"
