About this book
This non-fiction guide for engaged readers addresses the big questions of our time—global pandemics, climate disruption, and systemic injustice—through maturity, humility, and integrity. It speaks to adults who want to think deeply and act responsibly, offering a tone that is challenging yet hopeful.
Presented as a blend of rigorous analysis and practical practice, it invites readers to work through thought experiments, reflective prompts, and concrete exercises used by teachers, NGO practitioners, and global changemakers. It examines how habits, beliefs, and power structures keep us stuck and shows how to gradually disinvest from patterns that harm people and the living Earth.
Key concepts include cognitive dissonance archetypes and a framework of the “5 modern-colonial e’s” — Entitlements, Exceptionalism, Exaltation, Emancipation, and Enmeshment. The book pairs these ideas with an activity-based learning approach to help readers reimagine how we learn, respond to crisis, and engage with difference, uncertainty, and failure—without offering easy answers but with clear pathways to responsibility and action.
- Thought experiments and practical exercises drawn from classrooms, NGOs, and global changemakers
