In her new book released in February, 1998, Conscious Evolution: Awakening the Power of Our Social Potential (New World Library), futurist, author, U. S. Vice Presidential nominee and visionary TV host, Barbara Marx Hubbard charts the emergence of a new global renaissance, what she calls the "social potential movement."

Drawing upon the expanding capacities of humanity in major fields, she sets forth a positive vision of this vast transformation. Deemed a "godmother" of the social potential movement, Hubbard offers in Conscious Evolution a spirit-motivated plan of action by connecting key ideas, processes, businesses, people and activities now working in a variety of fields.

The book invites readers to explore the whole story of creation, from the origin of the universe, through our current set of crises and opportunities into the long-range future - what it might be like if everything we know we can do works at the next stage of our evolution. Conscious Evolution offers practical tools, organizations and activities which the reader can use to enter the social potential movement now.

Hubbard introduces the idea of conscious evolution based on the latest understanding in cosmology, evolutionary theory, biology, sociology, science, spirituality and futurism. This new world view holds that through our unprecedented scientific, social and spiritual capacities we can evolve consciously with nature and the deeper patterns of creation, thus enabling us to manifest a future commensurate with our species and planetary potential.

Best selling author, Neale Donald Walsch, (Conversations with God), writes that Hubbard's book, ". . .is a document of stunning insight, including a blueprint for the recreation of human reality so brilliantly and originally conceived, and so obviously and completely right, that it cannot help but propel the most ambitious among us to a new level of commitment to, and excited co-creation of, our future."
