Review # 1 was written on 2019-09-07 00:00:00 Peter Lerner Hazel Henderson and Daisaku Ikeda are two truly inspirational people, this was a thoroughly enjoyable dialogue to read. I've been so inspired by this book, it helped bring some more clarity to certain global issues, it helped me ground certain points of view, but it also helped me to change certain negative points of view I'd picked up regarding economics and the environment. It helped me find a better understanding of how a more positive hope filled outlook doesn't have to be something fictional or naive. I did, however, notice that this book may have been published sometime ago, and the global issues addressed in this book, far from improving have actually only got worse. But instead of feeling disheartened, it made me read this book with a greater sense of urgency. These issues are real, they're happening right now, and they aren't just going to effect our grandchildren, they're effecting us! I've taken many mottos from this book such as "Think globally, act locally." "A win-win world." etc. I am motivated to do what I can and possibly a bit more. I was really pleased to read Daisaku Ikeda's firm opinions against nuclear power, I myself agree that nuclear energy is not the answer to our problems, I don't think we've properly thought about the long-term costs of using nuclear power. This book was made using 100% recycled fibre, which I think is a brilliant example of conserving resources and doing business.
