Humankind is facing monumental challenges&;the sustainability of our natural resources, climate change, wealth inequalities, breakdowns in social structures, the impact of artificial intelligence, and of course the threat of pandemics. What we need to understand is that with each of these challenges is an opportunity to create a better future for our Earth. But first we need to open our eyes and understand how the old &;normal&;&;the conventions and assumptions about how our systems work&;are no longer sustainable. Change is going to occur, and a &;new normal&; is not simply necessary; it is imminent. The authors of Dawn of An Era of Well-Being offer a unique worldview called the &;quantum paradigm&; that is emerging in society. Their concepts and principles are drawn from theories of Western science and Eastern wisdom traditions of human spirituality. These compass points for navigating the uncharted waters we are entering will be of interest to all who want to find a path to a better world. In this critical work authors Ervin Laszlo and Frederick Tsao are joined by several contributors including Deepak Chopra, Jean Houston, Neale Donald Walsch, and other well-known thought leaders.

Deepak Chopra
