Powerful conversations between His Holiness the Dalai Lama and leading scientists on the most pressing issue of our time. Engage with leading scientists, academics, ethicists, and activists, as well as His Holiness the Dalai Lama and His Holiness the Karmapa, who gathered in Dharamsala, India, for the twenty-third Mind and Life conference to discuss arguably the most urgent questions facing humanity today:
- What is happening to our planet?
- What can we do about it?
- How do we balance the concerns of people against the rights of animals and against the needs of an ecosystem?
- What is the most skillful way to enact change?
- And how do we fight on, even when our efforts seem to bear no fruit?
Inspiring, edifying, and transformative, this should be required reading for any citizen of the world.
“John Dunne and Daniel Goleman have assembled a set of refreshingly new and vibrant conversations between scientists, ethicists, and spiritual leaders on core climate change issues. The reader feels invited to a Jeffersonian dinner-table conversation, engaging with approachable, knowledgeable experts who elevate the human, ethical, social, and personal dimensions that are often lost in more technical works. His Holiness the Dalai Lama regularly punctuates the conversation with penetrating yet disarmingly simple observations that draw focus to the real human and spiritual dimensions of a world in transition.”
