Critical Acclaim, Endorsements & Reviews - Voice of Reason Book (2009-2012)

> "For a world consumed by a Culture of Violence, a Voice of Reason comes as a breath of fresh, positive air. The only hope of transforming the world from the 'tsunami of violence' is for each of us to Become the Change We Wish To See in the World. Bryant McGill shows us the way." > — **Dr. Arun M. Gandhi**, *Grandson of Mahatma Gandhi. Renowned Peace Activist, Journalist, Author. President of the Gandhi Worldwide Education Institute*
> "A peaceful voice for change in a corrupt world." > — **Larry Flynt**, *Hustler Magazine, Publisher and Free Speech Activist. Landmark Supreme Court Case Winner*
> "McGill's Voice of Reason is a brave and compelling call for greater individual consciousness and compassion. It is a bright spotlight on the powerful systems and situations shaping our lives, and the struggle for safety and happiness we all desire. The gentle force of his message clearly seeks to tame cruelty and restore human dignity. The power to create heaven or hell is within each of us. Voice of Reason is an iconoclastic tome of contempt for unjust authoritarianism, with an inspirational silver-lining that gives it all wings." > — **Philip G. Zimbardo**, *Ph.D., New York Times Best Selling Author and Psychologist. Professor Emeritus at Stanford University. Former President, American Psychological Association. TED Speaker and Expert Witness at Abu Ghraib*
> "McGill has written a humanist manifesto through the roseate glasses of agape Christianity, Vishnu Sahasranama and Theravada Buddhism. Critical theorists will be challenged by the proposed consonance between Plato, poststructuralism and Lao-Tzu. Purists be damned!" > — **Constance Stadler, Ph.D.**, *Assoc Professor of Political Science, New York University. Assoc. Professor of Organizational Culture, NYU. Acting Consultant on US-Arab Relations*
> "Bryant McGill's Voice of Reason, is neither hagiographical nor self-celebratory and does not exaggerate reality. The pattern he draws between the single individual and the society is fascinating, exciting and useful; it opens the way to our immense internal spirit, which in Bryant's case, is enlightened." > — **Gabriella Giorgielli**, *Acclaimed Italian film actress appearing in 70 films*
> "I deeply appreciate Voice of Reason, Bryant McGill's latest effort to reach out to young people and provide an older man's clear and conscious guidance to a positive way out of our global crisis. As Rumi said, 'There is a field'...Beyond nationalism, beyond warmongering, beyond cynical elders who use our young people as fodder in wars that destroy all but their own short-term financial wealth and power. Beyond all this and into a real power that comes from truth, awareness, love and compassion." > — **John Breeding, Ph.D.**, *Psychologist, Counselor, Educator and Activist. Adjunct Professor of Psychology and Best Selling Author*
