Ananta Kumar Giri has authored and edited a number of pioneering and intriguing books already, but Social Healing may be his most insightful till date. With a grand and sweeping vision, the author has tied together ethics and epistemology, psychology and political theory, sociology and spirituality, and even poetics and public health, all in an elaborate effort to bring his readers toward a systematic understanding of deep and lasting healing - individual, social, and global. Engaging with Giri's unique work affords us the opportunity not just to learn, but also to transform. Aakash Singh Rathore, author of Becoming Babasaheb: A Definitive Biography of Dr B.R. Ambedkar Ananta Kumar Giri is a leader in thought and action at this crucial time for our planet and beyond. Whether in social or ecological or spiritual issues and insights, he is sharp in judgement and gracious in kindness and understanding. Whether coping with world conflicts, health and sadness, or paths toward survival, Ananta is a superb guru and a forgiving friend to whom we can always turn as we seek a path. I join many in looking forward to this new set of insights and guidance. James Peacock, Professor emeritus of anthropology, University of North Carolina, USA, former president of American Anthropological Association The world is a conversation among its manifold inhabitants. If the world's continuation is now in jeopardy, it is because the conversation has been broken. We need to mend it. That's what social healing is about. The task will require thinkers of good will, from every continent, to join in a spirit of hope and reconciliation. In these gentle, gracious and generous essays, Ananta Kumar Giri sets a shining example. We should follow it. Tim Ingold, University of Aberdeen
