Tribes of Eden Is Here

April 2, 2012 | Kavan Peterson, Editor, ChangingAging.org

Have you ever wonder what would happen if the economy actually did collapse? If the grocery shelves went bare for good and the pumps dried up, how long before society unraveled?

In his gripping debut novel Tribes of Eden, published April 2, William H. Thomas envisions a world ravished not by zombie pandemics or nuclear holocaust but by the total collapse of an unsustainable culture.

A crossover novel targeting teens-to-elders, Tribes of Eden uses a post-apocalyptic scenario to show how trust, community, and wisdom can overcome even the most tyrannical power and repair a broken world. Continue reading →

The Tribes of Eden Virtual Book Launch Celebration

March 29, 2012 | Dr. Bill Thomas

The official paperback release of my newest novel Tribes of Eden is coming down the track like a freight train. April 2, 2012 is the big day. I have happily devoted nearly eight years to the making of this book. It is inspired by and dedicated to the REAL tribes of eden — the thousands and thousands of people around the globe who make up The Eden Alternative and broader culture change community. This is your book.

Accordingly, Jude and I have dedicated 100 percent of the proceeds from sales of the Tribes of Eden to The Eden Alternative. Now I get to celebrate the book’s entry into the world on Wednesday, April 4 at 3 p.m. EST with a live video broadcast of the Tribes of Eden Virtual Book Launch Party at www.TribesofEden.com.

Be there or be Square.

We are making the book launch into a public event because events and celebrations support and sustain communities. We are all in this together.

This is our story.

I’ve found storytelling to be one of the most powerful tools in changing the culture of long term care. It has long been my goal to tap into that power to change the broader culture of aging in our society. We think that this novel has a shot at reaching and influencing the wider world. It is stories that change the world and we invite all of you to join us in celebrating the Tribes of Eden, its stories and characters.

Let’s ride!

Earlier this week I had a chance to talk to the core of the Texas culture change coalition in Houston. Wow. Nearly 200 people in attendance and the energy in the room was unbelievable. It is springtime in Texas and the Eden Alternative is on the move.

ElderBlogging Guru Ronni Bennett On Tribes of Eden

January 25, 2012 | Kavan Peterson, Editor, ChangingAging.org

This Thursday, Ronni Bennett of www.TimeGoesBy.net is going to share her reaction to TRIBES of EDEN, which she recently finished reading on eBook. As the founder of ElderBlogging, the sharpest cultural critic on aging on the Internet and one of ChangingAging’s biggest inspirations, we can’t wait to find out what she thinks. I’m more than a little curious after Ronni sent me this email explaining how hard she slaved last weekend trying to capture how special the book is to her.

My Own Aging

January 9, 2012 | Dr. Bill Thomas

My primary school and high school teachers might scoff at the idea that I was “driven” when I was young. I was a chronically failing student sand received a “social promotion” out of the sixth grade and into the seventh. In high school, I was both president of the student body and on the edge of academic ineligibility. Much to my teachers’ and parents’ dismay I was, in those years, dismissive of school, refused to do homework and unconcerned about the bad grades that were piling up on my “permanent record.”

December 31, 2011 | Kavan Peterson, Editor, ChangingAging.org

As we say goodbye to 2011 and look forward to the New Year I want to thank the ChangingAging Blogstream community for a wonderful year. Without your enthusiasm and commitment to changing aging we never could have built the Blogstream network and brought together this great community of voices.

On this New Year’s Eve I want to wish everyone the absolute best for 2012. I’d also like to share some of my favorite highlights from working with Dr. Bill Thomas and the ChangingAging community in 2011. Here’s a look a back:
