This book confronts us with the harsh realities of a dramatic global situation and simultaneously calls on us to be "the change we wish to see in the world" with a new awareness. It is essential to dissolve unconscious habits and self-alienating lifestyles and to "leave the ego tunnel" (Thomas Metzinger). Let yourself be empowered by this pragmatic-spiritual wake-up call to "finally awaken" and be reminded of the essence of your humanity. Unflinchingly honest, informative, profound, and full of hope and confidence, this book encourages us to act and shape our lives here and now in the light of a new consciousness.
