'The Web of Meaning is both a profound personal meditation on human
existence and a tour-de-force weaving together of historic and
contemporary world-wide secular and spiritual thought on the
deepest question of all: why are we here?' Gabor Mate M.D., author,
In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction '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? As our civilization
careens towards a precipice of climate breakdown, ecological
destruction and gaping inequality, people are losing their
existential moorings. Our 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 passed its
expiration date. Yet another world is possible. 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.
