A compelling foundation for a new story of interconnectedness, showing how, as our civilization unravels, another world is possible

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. It offers a compelling foundation for the new story that could enable humanity to thrive sustainably on a flourishing Earth.

The Web of Meaning is for everyone looking for deep and coherent answers to the crisis of civilization.
