DARE TO BE GREAT

To celebrate the life and work of our late co-founder, Polly Higgins, her third book, Dare To Be Great has been republished by Flint Books.

Polly originally wrote the book ‘to all who care’ as an exploration of what it is to dare to be great.

Little did we know how much the world would change, and yet, the tools and inner-sight Polly offers to meet the planetary emergence could not be more relevant in the unprecedented, and related, health crisis we are living through.

This is an important conversation with one of history’s truly big thinkers.
Polly is our friend and companion, as we ourselves dare to be great, taking on the quest of inner reflection, imagination, resilience, regeneration and courageousness, to unlock our power, create a better world and become truly great. This could not be more pertinent.

“In Polly’s work we have a gift. Ecocide is the missing piece of law to assist in reframing the system so that we don't return to destructive business-as-usual. Just imagine how much easier it would be to protect what we love and what supports life – if it were a crime to destroy ecosystems. It would make all the difference. It’s why Polly wrote this book: to invite each and every one of us to step up and do something great.” explains Jojo Mehta, Polly’s closest friend and colleague, who has written the new introduction in the book.

Other new additions include a Foreword by author and spiritual leader Marianne Williamson, and Afterwords by Dr Jane Goodall DBE and Michael Mansfield QC. Endorsers of the book include: Caroline Lucas, Charles Eisenstein, George Monbiot, Gail Bradbrook, Roz Savage and Simon McBurney.

The book is a heart-felt, lived call and a timely reminder of just how far a legacy of greatness can go;

As Polly wrote: ‘I know my work is done when others start to call in greatness too.’
