FACING FEAR: The Economic Hit Man touches the Jaguar with John Perkins

John Perkins is on a crusade to Transform Fear into Action to change your life and the World.

John’s experience as an “economic hit man”, convinced developing countries to build huge infrastructure projects that put them in debt to the World Bank and other US-controlled institutions. Although he had been taught this was the best model for economic development, John came to see that this was simply a new form of colonialism. He now an ambassador to transform our failing Death Economy into a Life Economy.

John’s latest book, Touching the Jaguar: Transforming Fear into Action to Change Your Life and the World, tells the dramatic story of how, when he was a Peace Corps volunteer, his life was saved by an Amazonian shaman who taught him to “touch the jaguar,” to change his reality by embracing perceptions that transformed fears into positive actions.

This is a quote from the book, “‘Touching the jaguar’ means that you can identify your fears and barriers, confront them, alter your perceptions about them, accept their energy, and take actions to change yourself and the world.”

John Perkins was chief economist at a major consulting firm. John has advised the World Bank, United Nations, Fortune 500 corporations, US and other governments and is the author of 10 books including, New York Times bestseller Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. The book has sold over 2 million copies and has been published in 35 languages.

John regularly speaks at universities, economic forums, and shamanic gatherings around the world and is a founder and board member of the non-profit organizations, the Pachamama Alliance and Dream Change.

This is his story, and this is his passion.

QUOTES FROM THE BOOK: Touching the Jaguar: Transforming Fear into Action to Change Your Life and the World

COLONIALISM
“Colonialism,” I replied, “occurs when a country moves in on another country or culture and takes control of its economy, lands, resources, people, and system of government. '

THE DEATH ECONOMY
'The big corporations were sucking resources from countries around the planet at an unsustainable rate. The driving goal of the corporations was to maximize short-term profits. CEOs were intent on increasing short-term stock prices, market share, or both without regard for the future. It was a system that was bound to fail, to kill itself—what economists would later define as a Death Economy.'
