The Ascent of Humanity

The Ascent of Humanity — Chuck's book is out!

As we look to make sense of the current state of human life on the planet and to understand the many crises in our society, environment and culture — as our actions seem to result in threatening to destroy what we are all working toward, Charles Eisenstein offers a compelling framework to comprehend our journey as he guides us in visualizing a bright and life-affirming future.

Chuck suggests that our single-minded obsession with technical mastery of our material world has displaced our sublime knowledge that we are of nature itself as we have become addicted to a self-destructive ethos of control over our world. We have lost site of the rich potential of our relationship with nature. Chuck calls this state Separation.

Chuck suggests that the mounting crises seeming to threaten us from all sides are not the sound of our approaching doom but rather the inevitable alarm drawing us back to reintegration with the rest of creation, our origin and our future, in the Age of Reunion.

Chuck's latest book not only offers important and timely ways of thinking about our world, but presents these ideas with writing and imagery inspired by and embodying the beauty it presents as he reviews human exploration in science, medicine and education. His years of work as a teacher echo in his clear and compassionate prose. You can find more reviews of The Ascent of Humanity at Amazon or browse the whole text on line at the The Ascent of Humanity website.
