Why read it?

1 author picked New World New Mind as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Why this book is recommended is that it suggests the human brain is not suited for detecting many of the gradually escalating world dangers, such as overpopulation and world chaos that threaten our very existence as humans.

The threats being faced are of our own making, so they can be unmade. Understanding this makes it easier to restore hope for the future and a new consciousness. 

Although it was first published nearly twenty years ago, what we like is that it is still relevant today and identifies various ways to minimize the problem, including the importance of educating children differently. 

From Andy and Reena's list on how to move to a new consciousness and new earth.
