Waging Optimism

Waging Optimism offers a personal philosophy and political vision for addressing the major challenges facing humanity. With persistent optimism, we can each make commitments and build movements, so together we can usher in a new era of justice. In Waging Optimism Part 1, Ensuring the Survival and Flourishing of Humanity, published in March 2020, Zeitz calls for urgent political action to restore a proven, safe and healthy climate by transforming America’s greed-driven politics. He proposes a bold new cross-partisan political movement and citizen’s assemblies to transform our democracy so that America can address the climate emergency that is spiraling out of control. Zeitz envisions a new America 2.0 Constitution that would establish an authentic democracy, enabling Americans to unify, flourish, and ensure the survival of humanity.

“Dr. Paul Zeitz, a member of the Healthy Climate Initiative in India (HCI) HCI and my guide for the HCI direction and strategy, has published a book Waging Optimism that hit Amazon’s Bestseller list when it was launched. Previously he wrote “Waging Justice: A Doctor’s Journey to Speak Truth and Be Bold” which received a lot of praise including Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, “Dr. Zeitz is a man of conscience who shares my commitment to bringing hope to the world’s poor. Please read Waging Justice. You won’t regret it!” Dr. Zeitz is offering Waging Optimism so it can help anyone explore optimism in this tumultuous time. We need to stay optimistic in this long battle for climate restoration.”
