Invisible Walls - Why We Ignore the Damage We Inflict on the Planet... and Ourselves (Hardcover)

Our wants for food, housing, medicine, transportation, luxuries,
and all the other benefits of industrialization have resulted in
the exploitation of our natural surroundings. We know our actions
affect the physical world we depend on, so why must we be faced
with catastrophic problems--overpopulation, the loss of
bio-diversity, global warming, and the like--before we act to
protect the planet's ecosystem--and then often inadequately?
With astute analysis Peter Seidel explores the complex convergence
of psychological, social, economic, and political factors that keep
us from acting in our own self-interest. An environmental and human
relations visionary, Seidel proposes adoption of a new "world
model," a "universal ethic," and long-term societal goals.
Educators and journalists must give us a better understanding of
ourselves-creatures evolved to function in a hunter-gatherer
society, not in the complex, hazardous world we have created. We
must learn to use our minds to control our primitive drives rather
than to satisfy them.
