The Sacred Balance (25th Anniversary Edition)

Rediscovering Our Place in Nature

De: David Suzuki, Robin Wall Kimmerer - foreword, Bill McKibben - afterword

Narrado por: David Suzuki, Megan Tooley, Zack Sage

“The Sacred Balance has a beautiful spirit.”—E.O. Wilson

With a new foreword from Robin Wall Kimmerer, New York Times-bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass—and an afterword from Bill McKibben—this special 25th anniversary edition of a beloved bestseller invites listeners to see ourselves as part of nature, not separate.

The world is changing at a relentless pace. How can we slow down and act from a place of respect for all living things? The Sacred Balance shows us how.

In this extensively updated new edition, David Suzuki reflects on the increasingly radical changes in science and nature—from the climate crisis to peak oil and the rise in clean energy—and examines what they mean for humankind. He also reflects on what we have learned by listening to Indigenous leaders, whose knowledge of the natural world is profound, and whose peoples are on the frontlines of protecting land and water around the world.

Drawing on his own experiences and those of others who have put their beliefs into action, The Sacred Balance combines science, philosophy, spirituality, and Indigenous knowledge to offer concrete suggestions for creating an ecologically sustainable future by rediscovering and addressing humanity’s basic needs.

Refueled my green heart!

Incredibly valuable wholehearted insights and data for an environmental sustainability advocate, specially chapter 19. Thank you!

Possibly the most important book of our time

I’m so grateful for the insight this book shares and the boldness by which proclaimed the truth. It should be required reading for all, especially in first world countries. Money continues to be king, and it’s gonna cost us everything. This book has literally changed my life by turning me into an activist. I can’t imagine a more important job for anyone. Thank you for this, all of it and everyone involved and everyone working to make a change

Wisdom the World Needs

The science and the evolution of our species to the precipice we face that threatens our our sustainability is presented in a rational understandable way.

Incredible

I believe that it should be a requirement for everyone to read or listen to this book

It’s Now or Never

What would the world be like today if thought and action had shifted as David Suzuki suggested 50 years ago? What will it be like in 10 years if the changes are still avoided? Let’s recalibrate our awareness meaning, community, and what is most valuable. Let’s restore the Sacred Balance Suzuki so clearly articulates. Now.

PLEASE SEE: The Chapter designations are all wrong in this recording!!

Enjoying this book but there are errors in the sequencing of each chapter. I got as far as Chapter 9…. And then the recording starts to repeat Chapter 5- I’ve yet to hear if I can get to the end of the book and rather frustrated.

Audible: please work on your quality control and listen to the recordings you put out!!!! Thank you so much.
