How Soon is Now | Free Book
Drawing on a huge range of resources and references Daniel Pinchbeck presents a compelling argument for the need for change on a global basis – it is only when we see ourselves as one planetary tribe that this change can occur. The central thesis is that humanity has self-willed the ecological crisis in order to bring about the necessary conditions for transcendence of our current state of being, by undergoing an initiatory ordeal on a planetary scale.
This collective ordeal is necessary for us to evolve from one state of being – our current level of consciousness – to the next. By passing through this initiation we realize ourselves as one unified being, a planetary super-organism in a symbiotic relationship with the Earth's ecology and the entire web of life. Covering everything from energy and agriculture, to culture, politics, media and ideology, Pinchbeck's book is ultimately about the nature of the human soul and the future of our current world. He calls for an intentional and consciously designed metamorphosis of our current systems, which transform capitalist and exclusive structures into participatory, democratic, and inclusive ones, based on an integration of Eastern metaphysics, social ecology, and radical political thought. "How Soon is Now? gives us the context we need to understand the chaos and turbulence of our times." – Sting

'Daniel Pinchbeck's
HOW SOON IS NOW? is a powerful exploration of our need for a
massive upgrade of collective consciousness if we are to address the
inconsistencies and pathologies that afflict the modern world. While
we have seen massive progress, we have also seen moral failures... and
our unwillingness to question preexisting dogma might cost us
dearly. Daniel's book offers a startling call to action!'
- Jason Silva, artist, filmmaker and futurist

‘How Soon Is Now offers a spiritually driven approach to global
economic and ecological crisis… With dangerous and admirable honesty,
Pinchbeck tests his deepest held assumptions and judges his life
choices in a crucible of self-doubt. It's at once an initiation for
himself, and an invitation for us to ask these same sorts of questions
of ourselves as individuals and a society.’ – Doug Rushkoff, author,

Pinchbeck’s life is the hero’s journey. Like Homer’s Odyssey, How Soon
Is Now is a song of redemption for a world torn apart by the monsters
of our own creation. We’ve dreamed a world that is consuming itself
into extinction. Pinchbeck offers us a new dream and in doing so takes
us on a powerful, magical voyage into balance and sanity.' - John
Perkins, New York Times Bestselling Author of
Confessions of an Economic Hitman
'With
his new work Daniel Pinchbeck is proposing systemic solutions to the
ecological crisis looming over us, requiring a drastic shift in
lifestyle and new levels of global cooperation. Whether or not you
agree with all of his conclusions, How Soon Is Now? will
challenge most conventionally held assumptions about the global
environment.' - Moby
