With clarity, humor, detailed scholarship, and passionate
eloquence, Roger S. Gottlieb uses a unique range of resources to
portray a spiritual path keyed to caring for the earth. This
personal and powerful book speaks to anyone who has ever wondered
how to be happy when there is so much suffering in the world-anyone
who seeks a peaceful heart in a dark time. Its unique combination
of spiritual insight, political commitment, and environmental
knowledge reveals the deep ties between spiritual aspiration and
ecological activism; and makes a critical contribution to both
environmentalism and religious studies. Gottlieb begins by
describing the gifts which spirituality offers, and how those gifts
cannot be realized if we flee into avoidance or denial in the face
of ecological peril. In a startling and compelling comparison
between the Holocaust and the environmental crisis, he shows how a
psychic dependence on "work" can lead us-even against our wills-to
take part in genocide or ecocide. Addressing questions about our
obligations to the earth, he deepens our understanding of what it
is to live an "environmentally correct" life and what we really
mean by "nature." Finally, by connecting personal fulfillment to
social activism, he shows how a truly peaceful heart is only
possible if we devote some of our energies to resisting the forces
of destruction.
