"Are we living in an age of moral decay or moral growth?" James
Kenney asks his audiences in talks in the U.S. and abroad. The
pessimists win out, citing everything from road rage to economic
crisis, religious fanaticism, global violence, and environmental
disasters. But the good news, says Kenney, is that what we see is
not what we get. We misperceive things because we're in a period of
accelerated cultural evolution, or "sea change." The last one being
300 years ago, it's no wonder we may not grasp what's happening
now. Kenney illustrates using two intersecting waves: A dominant
wave, representing worn-out values such as patriarchy, racial
inequality, the inevitability of war, exploitation of nature, and
materialism, is on the decline. Another wave, representing more
evolved values such as gender equality, nonviolence, spirituality,
ecology, human rights, is on the rise. At this point in time, the
influence of the two waves is about equal. It is a crosscurrent
marked by chaotic change, uncertainty, identity crisis, and
extremism. But it is also enriched by new understanding, energy,
commitment, and spiritual growth. Kenney not only provides a
historical perspective on the phenomenon, he ends the book with 12
principles for personal growth.
