Reviews & Statements

With a unique insight and sense of purpose, this book engages with the most important issue of our time: how to find balance, wisdom and civility in the way we live and manage ourselves today? How can the best of traditional wisdom be accessed in a distracted techno-culture like ours? Religion and spirituality, the individual and society, cultures that have long been at odds but are now thrown together in the reduced space and time continuum of modernity — all these are part of the mix of the dilemmas of modernity. It needs the diversity of views, along with the balance of detail and generality that this illuminating collection of viewpoints affords, to approach this immense global challenge not with dread but hope and with the relish that accompanies any expansion of awareness or encounter with new ideas. For any student or organisation engaging with these questions of meaning this book will be an invaluable guide and companion.
