Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet

In a world facing interconnected crises—from ecological destruction and global warming to social inequality and the lingering effects of a pandemic—a vital approach to creating a better future is needed. This national bestseller offers a path forward, grounded in clarity, compassion, and courage.

The core of this transformative perspective lies in understanding our profound connection to the Earth. As Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh explains, recognizing that "the Earth is us" is key to touching the nature of interbeing. This realization highlights how our individual mindset—our way of looking, seeing, and thinking—shapes every choice, action, and reaction, influencing our relationships and our response to crises.

This book is essential reading for anyone concerned with climate change, mindful consumption, and the interconnectedness of humanity and nature. It provides inspiring meditations, Zen stories, and personal experiences from Thich Nhat Hanh's own activism. Discover how individual actions can foster institutional change, bringing healing and harmony to ourselves, our relationships, and the planet.
