The critical situation in which our planet finds itself is no longer in
doubt. Some things are already collapsing while others are beginning to
do so, increasing the possibility of a global catastrophe that would
mean the end of the world as we know it.
As individuals, we are faced with a daily deluge of bad news about the
worsening situation, preparing ourselves to live with years of deep
uncertainty about the future of the planet and the species that inhabit
it, including our own. How can we cope? How can we project ourselves
beyond the present, think bigger and find ways not just to survive the
collapse but to live it?
In this book, the sequel to How Everything Can Collapse, the authors
show that a change of course necessarily requires an inner journey and a
radical rethinking of our vision of the world. Together these might
enable us to remain standing during the coming storm, to develop a new
awareness of ourselves and of the world and to imagine new ways of
living in it. Perhaps then it will be possible to regenerate life from
the ruins, creating new alliances in differing directions - with
ourselves and our inner nature, between humans, with other living beings
and with the earth on which we dwell.
