A psychologist specializing in anxiety disorders, Bourne outlines a new perception of reality that is emerging in response to the worldwide environmental and economic crisis most people see on the horizon. The scientific-materialist view that has ruled the past four centuries, he says, is being replaced by such beliefs and values as a conscious universe, the complementarity of science and spirituality, natural ethics, integrating the feminine, voluntary simplicity, and the primacy of unconditional love. He has not indexed his work. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

A remarkable change is taking place that will profoundly influence the way we see ourselves and our world. The dominant materialistic, separatist worldview-a perspective that leads individuals to value their own needs over the good of the whole-is giving way to a humanitarian-spiritual orientation. This shift will revolutionize both the way humanity interacts on a global scale and how we live on a day-to-day basis.Global Shift, co-published with the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), explores the roots of such current planetary crises as climate change, diminishing resources, poverty, and disease, and explains how a new convergence of scientific research and spiritual insight is propelling us toward a more enlightened future. It also presents a call to actions we can implement now, such as voluntary simplicity, nonviolent communication, caring for our bodies, and inclusive global thinking, that can foster personal healing and bring our lives into alignment with the needs of the planet and a conscious universe.
