Summary: An exhilarating and provocative exploration!
Comment: JUMP TIME: SHAPING YOUR FUTURE IN A WORLD OF RADICAL CHANGE provides an exhilarating and provocative opportunity to share Dr. Jean Houston's "take" on where we are now. Written just at the turn of the millennium by this scholar, philosopher and global traveler and evocateur, Dr. Houston explores, among others, trends in education, , and cyberspace as she discusses and underlines the unique time in history in which we live - a "jump time" in global and individual consciousness. The chapter on "Peacemaking and the Global Longhouse" seems particularly relevant and helpful in light of the tragedies of September 11th. And because she is the author of many other powerful books - THE POSSIBLE HUMAN, THE SEARCH FOR THE BELOVED: JOURNEYS IN SACRED PSYCHOLOGY, A PASSION FOR THE POSSIBLE, MANUAL FOR THE PEACEMAKER: AN IROQUOIS LEGEND TO HEAL SELF AND SOCIETY, A MYTHIC LIFE: LEARNING TO LIVE OUR GREATER STORY, to name a few - it's easily possible to continue to follow Dr. Houston's always challenging and evocative explorations. To share the thoughts and speculations of this pioneer of the human potential movement (whose mind has been called a "national treasure") is to be stimulated and challenged to personally take an active and vital part in the transformations Dr. Houston sees taking place. Read it!

Summary: Entering Jump Time. A MUST READ in a time of world challenge
Comment: Dr. Jean Houston foresaw the challenges that America and the world faces today. In light of the tragic events of September 11th, the lessons of Jump Time are more important than ever. If you read only one book this year, read Jump Time.
You may know of Jean Houston as the best-selling author of such books as The Possible Human, A Passion for the Possible, and A Mythic Life. You may have heard of her association with Joseph Campbell, or her work with Margaret Mead. Jean Houston is a world-renowned scholar, philosopher, and teacher who has been a consultant to UNICEF, and her forward-thinking concepts often takes her to the United Nations. There is no greater mind today in the human potentials arena, developing the possible human, who will then create the possible society and the possible world.
What is Jump Time? Well, we're living in it; a time of whole system transition in which nothing is as it was in the past. It is the end of life as we know it and the beginning of something entirely new. What this new world will be is up to all of us. In Jump Time we are given tools to uncovering human potentials for this brave new world. You learn to access your essential self; self orchestrate across states of consciousness; turn on your polyphrenic self; become a cultural fusionary; travel your greater mythic path, and emerge as the new man or woman, "cooking on more burners," as Jean Houston says.
The book offers great insights into social change and social artistry. Chapter Three on new systems of education alone is worth the price of admission. In Seattle, where I live, there are amazing new schools in the works which are growing out of Jean's inspiring view of what is possible. This is a book that makes change happen! Much of Jump Time is taken from depth soundings in Jean Houston's Mystery School, offering glimpses into deep wells of sacred psychology where one is given the tools to be more than they ever imagined.
Whoever you are when you begin reading Jump Time, you will find an entirely new person looking back at you in the mirror by the time you finish the book; an expanded you that is ready for the challenges we face together in this new millennium of incredible possibilities. Make the jump to Jump Time... together, we can make miracles happen!

Summary: FOR A WORLD WE COULDN¿T HAVE IMAGINED
Comment: I've never felt more urgently the need to understand what is happening in this upside down world, and no book I've found addresses that need more profoundly than JUMP TIME.
Recognizing the perils of the day while emphasizing the possibilities, JUMP TIME is engaging from cover to cover, with a wonderful blend of the humorous, poignant, and inspiring. Mostly, it is brilliant. I kept thinking, "Why don't today's world leaders know this stuff!" Actually, I've heard that Dr. Houston is now regularly called in to work with the U.N., so that is heartening. This is a book to read if you want to understand what is unfolding in this amazing time in human history. I'll close with a passage from the book:
"The electronic nervous system of the global village has resulted in a spreading and sharing of the images and archetypes of societies radically different from each other in geography, history, and ethnicity. Myths and stories cooked in climates vastly different from ours are becoming the materials of our everyday consciousness. The rebirth of images and their cross-fertilization through media and travel spurs us to rethink the archetypal possibilities of our human selves, now expanded to include all present knowledge and all previous visions of tribe, race, and social class."
