How to Train Your Political Animal Melinda Maddock

How to Train Your Political Animal is the perfect antidote to the powerlessness many people are feeling in the world today.




Drawing on the author's experience as a political adviser and facilitator of changemaker training, it is a practical and inspiring guide for anyone who wants to make better decisions and create a better world.




The book shares personal, real-world stories from people who are trying to navigate the politics they experience every day in workplaces and communities. It helps readers understand why some people are better at getting the outcomes they want (it's not because they're smarter, or their ideas are more worthy, it's because they are better at politics).




How to Train Your Political Animal is also a call to action, inviting more people to participate in decision-making, to expand their emotional and political intelligence, and create a new politics that empowers others to make a difference. In a world where people are demanding more of a say in the decisions that impact them, the book sets a path for transforming politics from a practice where power is hoarded by a few, to one where power is shared by many.




The concise, easy-to-understand handbook includes relatable stories, playful illustrations and practice tips that readers can try in their everyday lives.
