Jim Cowan has focused on political and social change in Britain for over 40 years. This has been reflected in all areas of his life. Community development, encompassing many different roles, has been at the heart of his work from the early 70s until 2012. Between 1968 and 2005 he acquired five social science degrees, including a PhD. He was also an honorary visiting research fellow for 10 years up until 2016. In his personal life, he has practiced a socially engaged form of Buddhism for over 40 years which has enabled him to develop his consciousness more fully and realise more of his potential. Since 2012 he has been meticulously researching what has been, and is, happening across Britain. All these aspects, work, personal and social, academic study and research come together in this book; and it is these four voices of doing, thinking, being, and researching that you will hear as you read The Britain Potential.
