Description
Flipping the script on climate change, Eisenstein makes a case for a wholesale reimagining of the framing, tactics, and goals we employ in our journey to heal from ecological destruction
With research and insight, Charles Eisenstein details how the quantification of the natural world leads to a lack of integration and our “fight” mentality. With an entire chapter unpacking the climate change denier’s point of view, he advocates for expanding our exclusive focus on carbon emissions to see the broader picture beyond our short-sighted and incomplete approach. The rivers, forests, and creatures of the natural and material world are sacred and valuable in their own right, not simply for carbon credits or preventing the extinction of one species versus another. After all, when you ask someone why they first became an environmentalist, they’re likely to point to the river they played in, the ocean they visited, the wild animals they observed, or the trees they climbed when they were a kid. This refocusing away from impending catastrophe and our inevitable doom cultivates meaningful emotional and psychological connections and provides real, actionable steps to caring for the Earth. Freeing ourselves from a war mentality and seeing the bigger picture of how everything from prison reform to saving the whales can contribute to our planetary ecological health, we resist reflexive postures of solution and blame and reach toward the deep place where commitment lives.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“What a blast of sanity! Eisenstein's corrective is a bracing piece of work, dazzlingly thought through and eloquent in its articulation. He writes from within an uncannily woke worldview, enacting a full-bodied way of thinking that discerns and feels into the complex entanglement of our lives with every facet of this breathing biosphere. This book is visionary and prophetic, achingly grounded and useful to the max.” (David Abram, cultural ecologist, geophilosopher, and author of Becoming Animal and The Spell of the Sensuous)
“There is nothing ‘safe’ in these writings; almost every chapter courts controversy. We as readers are the beneficiaries of this bravery. This is a message that must be heard loud and clear as we chart a path toward social and ecological renewal.” (Helena Norberg-Hodge, author and filmmaker of Ancient Futures and The Economics of Happiness)
“This is a groundbreaking book. Eisenstein makes an inspiring, positive, and convincing case for a full and proper understanding of the present human predicament - a radical shift from a utilitarian worldview to an integral world view rooted in a sense of the sacred which recognizes the intrinsic value of nature and life.” (Satish Kumar, founder of Schumacher College and editor emeritus of Resurgence & Ecologist)

So rewarding!
I’m a big fan of Eisenstein’s, and Climate: A New Story rewards like the rest of his books! I read this after reading Naomi Klein’s On Fire and This Changes Everything as well as Jeremy Rifkin’s The Green New Deal. All very important books at this time. It was nice to have a broader deeper perspective to Climate change.

Very insightful
I was looking for an audiobook to help me understand better the climate crisis we’re currently experiencing. I really liked the broad approach the author takes, especially the last chapter listing concrete steps we can take as a society.

Unbelievably Relevant
Nothing short of a revolutionary book for this challenging time we now face. The narrative focuses on ecological healing rather than adaptation or carbon emissions. I absolutely loved the book and how it opened me up to viewing this crisis through a completely new lens. I would recommend this book to any environmentalist. Beautiful.

great content, mediocre reading
Fantastic content that drags a little because of a sort of boring reading. Unfortunately I was tuning out because the performance would drone on and on without much inflection or emotion. sad since I think Eisenstein himself would have been a much better narrator based on interviews I've heard.

This should be a school book
An absolutely inspiring, eloquently written book full of heart and inspiration. So many detailed insights and considerations for what was, what is, and what could be. Recommended to everyone.
