The author of The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible explores the history and potential future of civilization, tracing the converging crises of our age to the illusion of the separate selfOur disconnection from one another and the natural world has mislaid the foundations of science, religion, money, technology, economics, medicine, and education as we know them. It has fired our nearpathological pursuit of technological Utopias even as we push ourselves and our planet to the brink of collapse.Fortunately, an Age of Reunion is emerging out of the birth pangs of an earth in crisis. Our journey of separation hasn't been a terrible mistake but an evolutionary process and an adventure in selfdiscovery.Even in our darkest hour, Eisenstein sees the possibility of a more beautiful worldnot through the extension of millenniaold methods of management and control but by fundamentally reimagining ourselves and our systems. We must shift away from our Babelian efforts to build everhigher towers to heaven and instead turn out attention to creating a new kind of civilizationone designed for beauty rather than height.
