35 of the World’s Leading Thinkers Map Your Path Forward to a Bright Future
This vital book leads us beyond today’s crisis- and conflict-prone world to a higher stage of our evolution. We have reached a historic turning point – a ‘point of bifurcation’ – at which we must find new ways to upshift our individual and collective consciousness to ensure the desired resolution of these crises.
Ervin Laszlo and David Lorimer, drawing on their holistic expertise and global network, have assembled a stellar cast of contributors who decode the big picture to offer exactly what we need now. The world-renowned scientists and visionaries who contribute to this book illuminate where are we today and where we can go from here. They focus on the most burning question of all: how can we upshift ourselves – our ways of healing, of thinking and feeling, and even of intuiting – to respond to the pressing requirements of our time?
Their visions empower us to ‘be the change’ we want to see in the world – to help others be a positive and critical part of the great upshift that has already started. This will be our salvation. This compendium of insights into solutions for our world troubled by climate change, conflict, and unsustainable conditions calls for the conscious participation of all of us to implement the verities within.
