Career, love, security, family, country, social cause, reform, revolution, ideology, entertainment, self-reinvention, pursuit of the unknown. Have you ever noticed how these things shape the years and decades not only of our own lives but of humanity, right through old age, regardless of demographic, cultural, and professional differences? Have you ever noticed how all of us - the living, the ancestors and posterity - tread the exact same path across time, from generation to generation, century to century, without ever getting past that one common denominator: our own self-interest? And, what kind of society have we built around our self-interests? Not only are we not profoundly better people but we have also destroyed each other and the world. 

Long with me, dear friend, to go beyond our self-centered psychological needs, including righteous ones as self-awareness and self-actualization, and to tap into what undoubtedly is the calling of our time: co-operation. At this critical juncture in human history, let us find out what it takes to bring about a level of co-operation unknown to humanity - in allfields including relationship, academia, diet, and environmental change - without which the world stands no chance.

This is not a spiritual self-help book but an invitation to free oneself from psychology, in all its traditional and modern forms, so that a new world is built right in the heart of our highly destructive society.
