review 1: I have been head over heels about Eisenstein's work ever since I read his important, epic "The Ascent of Humanity," a book that has the potential to completely overturn one's worldview if you let it. This book continues the themes Eisenstein introduced in that book and is meant as a rallying cry for us to begin living in a new Story of the World, one which empowers us to imagine a world of connectivity, where everything truly is connected and what each individual does matters to the big picture. It is a refreshingly positive outlook, though Eisenstein also does a great job of addressing the critiques he has received over the years by the cynical modern thinkers who claim that we are all separate beings living in a universe without purpose. I hastened to say much more, beca... moreuse Eisenstein is so much more eloquent than I am and I really do think this is a book that I'd recommend everyone read if they are concerned about the future of humanity and our planet. If you even sometimes feel like life has not lived up to what you once thought it would, read this book. If you still retain some of your idealism, read this book. If you are willing to challenge the cynical Western worldview, read this book. Heck, read this book, no matter what. I guarantee it will challenge your thinking.
review 2: One of the best books I ever read. Absolutely Amazing. Inspirational. Lovely.A groundbreaking way of thinking. Charles' ideas touches so deep that reading this book, you almost can feel the end of the "age of separation" and start feeling the deep ecology from which we have always been a part.An illuminating excerpt:"We must become the storytellers of a new world. We tell the story not only with words, but also with the actions that spring from that story. (...) Every act of generosity is an invitation into generosity. Every act of courage is an invitation into courage. Every act of selflessness is an invitation into selflessness. Every act of healing is an invitation into healing. I am sure you have felt this invitation upon witnessing such acts.""We are the same being looking out at the world through different eyes." less
