About the Book
The clock approaches midnight. We humans have created a scary scenario for
ourselves with
Climate change * and other ecosystem failures
* Population growth and consumption that exceeds Earth’s carrying capacity
* Out-of-control technologies and pollution
* Ancient habits of war + Doomsday weapons + depleting resources + nationalism
What we need is a whole new way of thinking. From protecting our grey matter, to
changing 300-year-old paradigms, from self-reliance to trillion-dollar transitions,
from how we raise our children to how to tame the corporations, Koonce offers
potential solutions such as
* Change our universities
* Develop species-consciousness
* Decentralize
* Look for creative ideas and models across the world Humanity has what it takes
to survive. There’s no need to despair. But there is a burning need to get started
on the transformation.
