 Politics alone is not enough to tacke the likely scale
of global warming - the root lies in our addictive consumer mentality. In a
breath-taking journey through myth, philosophy and literature, McIntosh
reveals the psychohistory of modernity.
He shows how our inner lives
have fallen prey to a numbing culture of violence and the motivational
manipulation of marketing. To address what has become of the human
condition we must learn to see beyond despair and even death. Only then
will we discover the spiritual meaning of these, our troubled times;
only then can a sense of magical and all that gives life start to mend
a broken world.
