In a time of social and ecological crisis, what can we as individuals do to make the world a better place? This inspirational and thought-provoking book serves as an empowering antidote to the cynicism, frustration, paralysis, and overwhelm so many of us are feeling, replacing it with a grounding reminder of what's true: we are all connected, and our small, personal choices bear unsuspected transformational power.

Sacred Economics traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity; destroyed community; and necessitated endless growth. Today, these trends have reached their extreme - but in the wake of their collapse, we may find great opportunity to transition to a more connected, ecological, and sustainable way of being.

Charles Eisenstein explores the history and potential future of civilization, tracing the converging crises of our age to the illusion of the separate self. He argues that our disconnection from one another and the natural world has mislaid the foundations of science, religion, money, technology, economics, medicine, and education as we know them. It has fired our near-pathological pursuit of technological Utopias even as we push ourselves and our planet to the brink of collapse.

Stephen Jenkinson explores the great paradox of elderhood in North America: how we are awash in the aged and yet somehow lacking in wisdom; how we relegate senior citizens to the corner of the house while simultaneously heralding them as sage elders simply by virtue of their age. Our own unreconciled relationship with what it means to be an elder has yielded a culture nearly bereft of them. Taking on the sacred cow of the family, Jenkinson argues that elderhood is a function rather than an identity.

Story
Myth is our wild way of telling the truth, of sharing stories that have our living earth speaking through them. There is an old insistence that we each have a twin we know nothing about. A wild, curious twin that was thrown out the window the night we were born, taking much of our energy with them. This story is a quest to find and court our wild twin, for they have something important to tell us. If there was something we were here to do in our few, brief years, we can be sure that the wild twin is holding the key.

How do we explain the gap between these truths? And how should we respond? For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our troubles is clear: The accelerating rate of change in the modern world has outstripped the capacity of our brains and bodies to adapt.

It’s an alarm that calls us to fix an economic system that is already failing us in many ways. Klein meticulously builds the case for how massively reducing our greenhouse emissions is our best chance to simultaneously reduce gaping inequalities, re-imagine our broken democracies, and rebuild our gutted local economies.

Publisher's Summary
Flipping the script on climate change, Eisenstein makes a case for a wholesale reimagining of the framing, tactics, and goals we employ in our journey to heal from ecological destruction
With research and insight, Charles Eisenstein details how the quantification of the natural world leads to a lack of integration and our “fight” mentality. With an entire chapter unpacking the climate change denier’s point of view, he advocates for expanding our exclusive focus on carbon emissions to see the broader picture beyond our short-sighted and incomplete approach. The rivers, forests, and creatures of the natural and material world are sacred and valuable in their own right, not simply for carbon credits or preventing the extinction of one species versus another. After all, when you ask someone why they first became an environmentalist, they’re likely to point to the river they played in, the ocean they visited, the wild animals they observed, or the trees they climbed when they were a kid. This refocusing away from impending catastrophe and our inevitable doom cultivates meaningful emotional and psychological connections and provides real, actionable steps to caring for the Earth. Freeing ourselves from a war mentality and seeing the bigger picture of how everything from prison reform to saving the whales can contribute to our planetary ecological health, we resist reflexive postures of solution and blame and reach toward the deep place where commitment lives.
Critic Reviews
“What a blast of sanity! Eisenstein's corrective is a bracing piece of work, dazzlingly thought through and eloquent in its articulation. He writes from within an uncannily woke worldview, enacting a full-bodied way of thinking that discerns and feels into the complex entanglement of our lives with every facet of this breathing biosphere. This book is visionary and prophetic, achingly grounded and useful to the max.” (David Abram, cultural ecologist, geophilosopher, and author of Becoming Animal and The Spell of the Sensuous)
“There is nothing ‘safe’ in these writings; almost every chapter courts controversy. We as readers are the beneficiaries of this bravery. This is a message that must be heard loud and clear as we chart a path toward social and ecological renewal.” (Helena Norberg-Hodge, author and filmmaker of Ancient Futures and The Economics of Happiness)
“This is a groundbreaking book. Eisenstein makes an inspiring, positive, and convincing case for a full and proper understanding of the present human predicament - a radical shift from a utilitarian worldview to an integral world view rooted in a sense of the sacred which recognizes the intrinsic value of nature and life.” (Satish Kumar, founder of Schumacher College and editor emeritus of Resurgence & Ecologist)

Not just a book, but a way of life
If we, as a global society, could only read two books for the duration of our lives they should be: The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible AND Climate A New Story - both by Charles Eisenstein. These two brilliant works of art beautifully articulate the change that is needed as well as the change that IS happening. The change starts with us, with each of our unique expressions of life being embraced and cultivated through love. You are Loved. You ARE Love.

A paradigm pusher of a climate story
Charles Eisenstein presents a compelling argument for a shift in the whole foundation of the climate discourse. In media and politics the discussion is most often framed in terms of finance and economics, a weighing of fiscal gain against climate losses, a story doomed to failure as their can be no reconciliation there. Eisenstein presents powerful examples of where change does actually occur and illustrates how it comes out of individual or collective connection to place, that we react when we see the loss of habitats we have come to love and not at statistics over global temperature changes or indeed the paralysingly catastrophic rhetoric of many climate campaigns. He offers pragmatic ways in which such understandings can be translated into public policy on a local/global level. This is a broad, open and encompassing treatise that will resound with people on all sides of the 'climate debate' without diminishing in any way the depth of the crisis we currently find ourselves in.
The narrater reads as though he were the author - in the best possible sense.

Repetitive Talking Head pays lip service to Heart
I find Charles to be repetitive and verbose. Saying what could be said in a few succinct statements with long winded left brained paragraphs. He is very left brained.
He groups spiritual practices into one thing as if non-dual teachings and shamanism are the same thing. He gets a bit into his feeling when he talks about some magical trees at the end but is often just long winded and boring. if you have listened to one of his books you have listened to them all...

Thought provoking!
Although the book started a bit slow, it gets better. I very much enjoyed the range of topics covered, especially the reset of the financial system part is thought provoking. I must also say the author takes on an unrealistic Western liberals perspective when it comes to development, while not really offering a realistic solution that combines development with sustainability. Telling lower income countries that they don’t need to develop is not really a solution is it? 😂We know the old way isn’t working, the western ideal of ‘being developed’ has been very damaging, what then is the right way? When is International companies going to stop advertising their way of life to ppl living in developing world?

The middle way(as applied to system analysis) of the current crisis careening into our faces.
I love this ‘honoring of all prospective’, with the honest authentic appraisal & understanding that allows this intensity to be grasped by everyone to actually discuss & apply, with sobriety for all extremes.

Changing our view of the planet through love.
Charles Eisenstein has a very unique approach to healing. I certainly have been affected by this book specially in seeing the world as a living, integrated being. Humans being a part of it. This vision will help us to radiate love and acceptance for the intertwined, complex web we are all a part of. I used to quantify everything and this book has changed my perspective of the approach of the quantifiable and the story of separating things. I had read and listened to his essay prior to reading the whole book but it was definitely a whole lot better. I hope it can be a source of inspiration to many more.

Repetitive and rather inconclusive
I appreciate the tentative approach to a commonly discussed problem from a rather unconventional point of view, but the author, in my opinion, makes the mistake of being repetitive while also putting two very different things on the same level.
There is also a tendency to the usage of generalized categories, as if all scientists acted in a cold surgical way and all unconventional thinkers acted out of the pureness of their hearts, instead of delusional thoughts.
Finally, the author offers his objectives as a solution, without offering a real way to get there.

Illustrates wonderfully the interbeing nature of reality and the ecological crisis
I am finding this book to be the concise piece of diligent work and simultaneous guide that I have been longing for in these times of ecological crisis and division.
This book illustrates to me the way that we can all be united to Love our planet and each other, and that this is the most simple and easy ( or unfathomably difficult) path forwards.
It illustrates how we are so stuck in thinking of the earth as a “very complicated machine” rather than a “living organism”, and that to reframe our thinking (and connect with our feeling) will lead us to protect and regenerate our home, our selves and each other.
This book is phenomenal- thank you Charles. and thanks particularly for illustrating also the climate awareness scale from denier” mentality to “catastrophist” and for being so considerate and compassionate to all.

Ever wondered why they don’t listen??
You need to get to the source to understand the directions to head off in. I am surrounded by people’s opinions on “climate change”, none of them agree or line up so we go nowhere but further down the wrong path. This book shines a sun in the only direction. Thanks Charles.

critical book for all to read
this book is a journey into, and critique of, the past ways of development and human activity... it challenges the reader to open honesty of what a thriving future could look like

Exceptional!!!
It was very well researched, well written, well narrated and the message is deeply deeply needed at this time. Cannot recommend this book enough, well done Charles Eisenstein
