I enjoyed reading this book. It kept me entertained, which isn’t easy considering I have ADHD. The short chapters and the illustrated pictures with short-written points kept me eager for the next page. The author made some great points about his perspective of the good and bad sides of humans. He seems to believe that our greatest failures are war and cars. He follows this up with all of the ways that cars pollute our environment and make our lives more stressful. He makes some very good points on the benefits of a car-less world. He asks that his readers imagine what a world like that would be like. I had a hard time picturing this because it would be an extremely different world. The environment would be in a much better place. I would image that the air would be fresher. However, our reliance on cars as our primary transportation has been ingrained throughout our entire lives. It would be an extremely hard cycle to break. The authors dislike of war is evident because he makes a point to say that it is for people who have run out of logic. However, he doesn’t give many alternatives or how it would work. He also explains how food is important for not only our physical health but also our spiritual health. One of the points that stuck out the most is that the health industry relies on us being unhealthy. A major topic throughout the entire book is that thinking hinders us more than it helps. He suggests creating a gap by observing your thoughts and becoming aware of your actions. He goes into detail about becoming more conscious and finding your true self under the recycled trash of thinking constantly. He aims to move us from a greedy population to one in harmony. I am giving this book a 3 out of 4 because I do think he has some good ideas to help the planet as well as all of the living beings on it. However, I wish he would go into more detail about how to achieve his plans.
