{"product_id":"book-17y2","title":"Awakening in a World in Unprecedented Transition","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this 2023 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, futurist Duane Elgin argues that humanity is straddling unprecedented, threshold times, and that this situational crisis involves more than just climate change: it's a whole systemic change. Yet, despite the extreme nature of our situation, we're also living in a moment of immense possibility in a sea of a living universe within a domain of aliveness, where new kinds of potentials are going to emerge. He writes \"\u003cem\u003eEven though it is difficult, even though your heart breaks a thousand times, we must go through this time of collective initiation in order to take our place as responsible adults collaborating in the creation of a healthy and vibrant community of all beings.\" \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuane Elgin is the author of many books including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAwakening Earth: Exploring the Evolution of Human Culture and Consciousness \u003c\/em\u003e(William Morrow 1993)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eVoluntary Simplicity: Toward a Way of Life That Is Outwardly Simple, Inwardly Rich\u003c\/em\u003e (Harper 2010)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe Living Universe: Where Are We?
