Very short, very sharp
Bruce Clark, Economist
Pertinent… Evans is an attractive and persuasive writer … his book will strike many chords’
Allan Massie, Scotsman
An important book about the need to bring inspiring narratives back to the heart of progressive politics ... This has traction because it has truth, literally as well as metaphorically.
New Scientist
A really fascinating contribution to answering the question: how do we find new myths to live by.
Dr Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury
The Myth Gap is a beautiful synthesis of wisdom for the times we're in. Alex Evans melds deep insights from both scholarship and the front lines of social change to provide a perspective that may be essential to human survival. It's a must read for anyone considering how to save the world.
Ricken Patel, President & CEO, AVAAZ
Alex Evans gives us a glimpse of what campaigning could deliver if we focussed on binding people together based on shared ideas. It couldn't be a more urgent task and we couldn't have a clearer or more necessary handbook.
Kirsty McNeill, director of policy and campaigns, Save the Children
Everyone should read this.
Tim Smit
Our model of progress is broken. If we’re going to find ways of enabling all people to live sustainably on Planet Earth, we need an new story about what progress really means – and Alex Evans’s ‘The Myth Gap’ opens up some storylines that are both inspiring and provocative.
Jonathon Porritt, Founding Director of Forum for the Future
The Myth Gap takes on the most important and also most difficult problem of our day with rigor and creativity. Evans is not afraid to ask the big questions and he provides answers where other observers have stopped short. For anyone trying to contribute to a solution to global issues like climate change, this book is well worth your time.
Jonah Sachs, author of The Story Wars
This world has the potential to be a paradise for humanity but only if we change our world view. Alex Evans proposes another way of seeing and working.
Richard Chartres, Bishop of London
