Cool Heroism – Response to Our Crisis of Violence
Recorded at: The Great Rethinking Prophets Conference Oxford, England
“We need cool heroes today—We don’t need hot heroes. By cool, I mean non-violent; I mean those who can be forceful, intelligent, just, and insightful, and speak up loudly and clearly but without getting angry—without indulging in hatred. You can be just as tough, but more effectively tough. It’s like a martial art.” – Robert Thurman
