At 20, Mike Brown was crazy enough to leave university and try to change the world. It was the Sixties, an era of idealism, peace marches and ‘doing your own thing’ individualism. Like many of his generation, Mike’s idealism burnt out…well, not quite. The ‘unconscious mentors’ he writes about challenged him by their actions to work for deeper, more authentic social change and healing.  This book is about Mike’s own journey alongside ordinary Australians – among them a dairy farmer, a former prisoner-of-war, a butcher’s son, and an Aboriginal truck driver – who, through their compassion and commitment, played some part in turning the world ‘right side up.’
