“What a blast of sanity! Eisenstein's corrective is a bracing piece
of work, dazzlingly thought through and eloquent in its
articulation. He writes from within an uncannily woke worldview,
enacting a full-bodied way of thinking that discerns and feels into
the complex entanglement of our lives with every facet of this
breathing biosphere. This book is visionary and prophetic, achingly
grounded and useful to the max.”
—David Abram, cultural ecologist, geophilosopher, and author
of Becoming Animaland The Spell of the Sensuous
“There is nothing ‘safe’ in these writings; almost every chapter
courts controversy. We as readers are the beneficiaries of this
bravery. This is a message that must be heard loud and clear as we
chart a path toward social and ecological renewal.”
—Helena Norberg-Hodge, author and filmmaker of Ancient Futures
and The Economics of Happiness
“This is a groundbreaking book. Eisenstein makes an inspiring,
positive, and convincing case for a full and proper understanding
of the present human predicament—a radical shift from a utilitarian
worldview to an integral world view rooted in a sense of the sacred
which recognizes the intrinsic value of nature and life.”
—Satish Kumar, founder of Schumacher College and editor emeritus
of Resurgence & Ecologist
“This book is brave enough, vulnerable enough, insightful enough to
activate a truth buried deep within all of our hearts: that the
planetary crisis we face today can only be transformed by a
revolution of love. It calls each of us to break with our patterns
of war thinking and realize our interconnectedness with all life on
Earth.”
—Jodie Evans, cofounder of Code Pink
“A clarion call to reconnect through love with our living Earth.
Eisenstein offers a deeply analyzed and compelling case to
collectively move past divisive reductionism, betwixt false
Prophets of doom and false Profits of denial, towards a
revitalization of reverential relations.”
—Brock Dolman, Occidental Arts and Ecology Center, permaculture
program, and WATER Institute director
