Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"The first great joy of this book is encountering Joanna Macy herself. It always inspires and refreshes to come into contact with a truly alive, spiritual personality." Currents in Theology

Review:

"World as Lover, World as Self is a lamentation, a praise song, and a map." Deena Metzger, author of Writing for Your Life

Review:

"This is profoundly important, passionate book, one that truth-seekers, spiritually motivated political activists, and ordinary citizens with their eyes open will find indispensable." Whole Earth Review

Synopsis:

A new beginning for the environment must start with a new spiritual outlook. In this book, author Joanna Macy offers concrete suggestions for just that, showing how each of us can change the attitudes that continue to threaten our environment. Using the Buddha's teachings on Paticca Samuppada, which stresses the interconnectedness of all things in the world and suggests that any one action affects all things, Macy describes how decades of ignoring this principle has resulted in a self-centeredness that has devastated the environment. Humans, Macy implores, must acknowledge and understand their connectedness to their world and begin to move toward a more focused effort to save it.
