In this book, the author provides the necessary information for us to look beyond the narrow confines of our very limited Western technological worldview. Not that she has the final answers, but she asks the right questions! This first volume of the work connects seemingly disparate perspectives at first glance, such as capitalism and addiction, the archetypes of C. G. Jung, the emergence of agriculture, Greek philosophy, Taoism, behavioral research, and the teachings of primitive culture.
