"A pathbreaking synthesis" Gus Speth

"Rigorous and compelling" Michael Foley

Why our current fixes for the environmental crisis are making things worse, and what we need to do about it.

Does the future of humankind lie in colonising a new planet, or uploading our minds to a digital metaverse?

Listening to certain billionaires and technophiles, you might think these are our best bets for escaping the increasingly hostile world we've made for ourselves. The Nature Delusion dismantles these ideas. It shows why technological and economic 'fixes' alone cannot solve the existential threat of climate change, and why they remain out of reach for most people. Instead, this book uncovers the root causes of our environmental crisis - from our disconnection from nature to our focus on short-term, self-centred priorities - and offers a hopeful vision for the future.

As the environmental crisis deepens, it's easy to feel powerless or overwhelmed. The Nature Delusion invites you to see humanity's place in the world in a radically new way and demonstrates how transforming our mindset can create a healthier, more resilient world.
