INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

“This loving and uplifting book is the wise guide that can hold our hands as we tread these dark times.” —Liam Neeson

“An intensely sobering read, seeming to confirm all our worst fears about the future. But it also delivers clarity. Yes, things are that bad, but there is still plenty to fight for and much we can shape—if we are willing to confront reality.” —The Guardian

From New York Times bestselling author Sarah Wilson comes a deeply moving, wise guide to finding joy and meaning in a world that seems to be falling apart

It’s hard to escape the feeling that something is deeply wrong . . . that life has become precariously off-balance. We are hit hourly with headlines about collapsing democracies, AI and nuclear threat, rising economic inequality, widespread unrest, climate carnage—catastrophic wildfires, unprecedented flooding, record heat waves—and more. In I Eat the Stars, Sarah Wilson argues we are undergoing what every complex civilization before us has—systemic collapse.

So how do we continue to live as sensitive humans amidst such a tumultuous shift? What does life look like when the systems we rely on deteriorate? Should we be having kids? How do we make financial decisions? Should we be prepping? And, most importantly, how do we avoid succumbing to doom and despair?

In I Eat the Stars, Sarah Wilson delves into these pressing questions. Drawing on many years of research and wisdom gained from more than 200 conversations with philosophers, poets, game theorists, and spiritual leaders, Wilson takes readers on an intimate journey as she lays out a path for living fully, meaningfully, and beautifully through these troubled times. Our predicament, she argues, is ultimately an urgent call to us all to relish what is valuable to us—to eat the stars—and to return to our humanity once again.

I Eat the Stars empowers readers to move beyond panic, doom, and despair. With her warm, incisively intelligent, wise, and down-to-earth voice, Wilson creates a space for readers to confront their fears and anxieties about an uncertain future, guiding them toward one rooted in truth, hope, justice, creativity, community, and to step up as “warriors” and meet the moment.

We are in what we were warned about for decades. But from a crisis comes stunning possibility.

Sarah Wilson Faces Reality

This is a great book, I really enjoyed it, and it’s one of the few that’s actually talking about what is happening in our world right now. My only beef is that she doesn’t really understand renewable energy, anyone who thinks that solar is a “green scam” simply hasn’t done any real research. It’s also profoundly foolish because it’s one of the very few ways that we can get what we need, ie cheap electricity, and reduce what’s killing us, which are greenhouse gases. Duh.

the entire world should know this book

Packed full of research and calming sound advice. I wish everyone on the planet could have the knowledge of this book.

Remarkable- impossible to turn away

This book put just about every thought I’ve had about society, and our world in the past 10 years into one beautifully written piece of literature. Brilliant. Mentally highlighted every other sentence. Life altering, when she says it will change you- she is right.

Timely

Sarah’s mix of relevant research to support her ideas is both refreshing and just what I needed to feel a little less crazy.

It’s what we all need to hear right now

Invaluable information and perspectives on this complex, difficult and interesting time in which we find ourselves.
