"People often ask how I manage to continue devoting myself to progressive activism (such as the free software movement) for years without burning out. The best way I can answer is by recommending a book, The Lifelong Activist by Hillary Rettig."—Richard Stallman, MacArthur Fellow and Founder and President, Free Software Foundation

"If I had but one book to spend hard-earned cash on this year, this one would be it, hands down. Lifelong Activist is a unique and luscious hybrid, part inspirational tract and part practical textbook on sustaining effective and dedicated activism over the long, long haul."—SusanG, Daily Kos

"Global warming, poverty, homelessness, or other pressing problems; take your pick—and then use the organizing and time-management tools in The Lifelong Activist to change the world."—Adam Hochschild, author of Bury The Chains and King Leopold's Ghost

"The Lifelong Activist is about becoming more useful and effective as an activist or artist. I recommend that you take a look at it." —Salon.com
