If you have picked up this book and are reading it, it is no coincidence. It means you are awakening to an inner realisation that a radically new way of thinking is needed. If we are to reverse the catastrophic journey on which humanity is travelling, you will be conscious of a profound disquiet within your soul and an intense sense of frustration about your apparent helplessness at the state of the world. You can see that we are heading for very turbulent times, but are very uncertain about what we or more precisely, you can do about it. The world's increasingly complex and confusing problems conflicts, inequalities, environmental destruction and a frenetic pace of change have given rise to fear, anger, resentment and deep anxiety. Although there are wonderful initiatives and selfless acts happening around the world every day, they are constantly overwhelmed in the media by the torrent of bad news. The disharmony and divisiveness felt within and between nations, generations, creeds and genders. The intensification of work demands the anxiety about the future direction of technology are all causing a pandemic of stress. The very existence of so much negativity, repeatedly bombarding our subconscious mind, burrows into our brain since what we think we become. This creates a perception that the world is an unfriendly and dangerous place. This leaves us perpetuating a vicious cycle of negative thoughts. We then start to believe that while the dangers in the world are intensifying, few practical solutions exist to address these issues. There seems to be no where to go for respite. The world is out of control.
