About the author
Lisinka Ulatowska has led an adventurous life. Born in England, she has travelled in around 35 countries, many of them by hitch-hiking. She has lived in Holland, Germany, Syria and the USA for extended periods of time. When, in 1969, she became acquainted with the UN, initially as a guide, she for the first time knew what it meant to have found a political home. She has represented a number of NGOs at the UN over the years: the World Federalists, Paz y Cooperacion, the International Emissaries, the Institute for Planetary Synthesis and the Association of World Citizens.
She has spent most of her life, fascinated by the art of connection, and how this helps people to find a deeper meaning in their individual lives, in their relation to one another, and in relation to the Natural Order. This led her, after receiving an MA in German from UC Berkeley to do a doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the Union Graduate School (now the Union University and Institute), eventually specializing in psychology and specializing in transpersonal psychotherapy. Her dissertation, Relating: A Quest for the Source of Meaningful Relationship includes a discussion of therapeutic and spiritual tools and techniques, as these apply to human growth and evolution. During her doctoral studies at Union Graduate School, she also experimented with her own inner growth processes. This gave her an intimate understanding of how change is experienced inwardly. This understanding was useful when working with clients.
In 1982, she wrote a Handbook for Effective Global Action, showing ways in which individuals could both strengthen the UN and nurture the emergence of a global community.In 1990, the Association of World Citizens decided to represent Pieter Kooistra's Self-Financing World Marshall Plan at the UN. Ulatowska wrote the book, Crossroads 2000, to show how such a plan could be implemented, building on existing structures and organizations, and the potential within the UN. She also chaired an NGO Task Force on Financing at the UN for several years. In this capacity, she wrote a Listing Of Financing Mechanisms and Approaches to their Implementation.
In 2001 her first novel was published in Dutch, Samenzwering Samenspel. Na spiritueel wereldburgerschap. Inspired by this book, Ir. Pim van Monsjou, one of her readers, founded an All-WIn Network which connects people and organizations who are dedicated, each in their own way, to building a world that works well for all and in which all human beings are encouraged to flourish, without harming others.
This book was followed by a sequel in English, Fearless. Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things in a World Gripped by Fear, which describes the scientific principles which can help us build a sustainable global community. Both are exciting novels which pitch the forces which are out to subjugate the world by force against networks of ordinary people who use the all-win principle. Both books also show the inner and outer dimensions of how people grow and change so vividly that the readers can apply the tools to their own lives.
