"A profound personal meditation on human existence... weaving together... historic and contemporary thought on the deepest question of all: why are we here?" -Gabor Maté M.D., author,
In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts
As our civilization careens toward climate breakdown, ecological destruction, and gaping inequality, people are losing their existential moorings. The dominant worldview of disconnection, which tells us we are split between mind and body, separate from each other, and at odds with the natural world, has been invalidated by modern science.
Award-winning author Jeremy Lent, investigates humanity's age-old questions-Who am I? Why am I? How should I live?-from a fresh perspective, weaving together findings from modern systems thinking, evolutionary biology, and cognitive neuroscience with insights from Buddhism, Taoism, and Indigenous wisdom.
The result is a breathtaking accomplishment: a rich, coherent worldview based on a deep recognition of connectedness within ourselves, between each other, and with the entire natural world. It offers a compelling foundation for a new philosophical framework that could enable humanity to thrive sustainably on a flourishing Earth.
The Web of Meaning is for everyone looking for deep and coherent answers to the crisis of civilization.
"One of the most brilliant and insightful minds of our age, Jeremy Lent has written one of the most essential and compelling books of our time." -David Korten, author,
When Corporations Rule the World and
The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community
"We need, now more than ever, to figure out how to make all kinds of connections. This book can help-and therefore it can help with a lot of the urgent tasks we face." -Bill McKibben, author,
Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?
