Support For Wright's Theories
Wright's radical ideas have been endorsed by academics such as Richard Heinberg, Prof. Colin Groves, Prof. Ashok Gangadean, Prof. Robert Greenway, Dr. Michael Winkelman, and the psychiatrist Darold Treffert. Non-academic supporters for Wright's theories include the founder of the Eden Project, Tim Smit; former Police Superintendent Peter Bennett; and author and raw foodist, David Wolfe. A second edition of Wright's book was published in February 2008 by Lulu.com. It includes a foreword by Dr. Dennis McKenna that offers further support for Wright's theory.
Wright is a member of Courvoisier's 'The Future 500', which is "an exclusive network of pioneers, entrepreneurs and revolutionary spirits from the arts, social enterprise, business, science, gastronomy, fashion and beyond".

Famous quotes containing the words support, wright and/or theories:
“... the first reason for psychology’s failure to understand what people are and how they act, is that clinicians and psychiatrists, who are generally the theoreticians on these matters, have essentially made up myths without any evidence to support them; the second reason for psychology’s failure is that personality theory has looked for inner traits when it should have been looking for social context.”
—Naomi Weisstein (b. 1939)
“To speak in a flat voice
Is all that I can do.”
—James Wright (1927–1980)
“The two most far-reaching critical theories at the beginning of the latest phase of industrial society were those of Marx and Freud. Marx showed the moving powers and the conflicts in the social-historical process. Freud aimed at the critical uncovering of the inner conflicts. Both worked for the liberation of man, even though Marx’s concept was more comprehensive and less time-bound than Freud’s.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
