About this listen

For the first time, His Royal Highness Charles, the Prince of Wales, shares his views on how mankind’s most pressing modern challenges are rooted in our disharmony with nature. In the vein of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth and Van Jones’ Green Collar Economy, Prince Charles presents the compelling case that solutions to our most dire crises—from climate change to poverty—lie in regaining a balance with the world around us.

I loved this book. Not only does it give you a little (probably unintended) insight into our future king it touches on many faces of the earth and those natural societies, including ourselves, that live on it. The all encompassing views of regeneration of societies and the earth was just what I needed to think deeper on a subject I already have a passion for.

A great read!

The Author sincerely reminds us of the ultimate reality that mankind has been faced with since the dawn of humanity, has been taught traditionally by all ancient cultures, yet we in the modern era have conveniently forgotten, in our pursuit of progress and financial gain.
This book highlights our recent universal folly, reminds us of where true value lies, and suggests countless avenues for realignment and future development.
A true gem, and gift to the world and future generations.

I’m not going to lie, the first couple of chapters some of the language baffled me ( yes English is my first language), & my brain split in 2 as he spoke with regards to his pet projects where no doubt his heritage & thus power of privilege open doors to expert advice, machinery & simply resources not freely available to the masses regarding organic eating ( my bias of ugly food at the markets that cost triple other food of similarly shaped not considered organic, environmentally friendly etc. So there was a personal hurdle.

However his chapters regarding education camps, breakfast activities & the science alongside humanity proved how disruptive children benefited from time with animals, forests, feeding times enthralled me to read on and on like a great novel you can’t put down. His use of ancient scholars plus science & humanities was like the best parts of a Bachelor or Arts degree put together - sociology, arts, history, politics, philosophy, archaeology & architecture simplified. Beautifully spoken, underlying passion & perfect sense. Concentrate on our health & the rest follows suit. Lives improve through better decisions, more reliance on seasonal food less reliance on pharmaceuticals. While the industrial revolution brought wonderful inventions designed to simplify lives, overuse has depleted many first world nations of natural resources in a fight to remain competitive. That harms families in the immediate & long term, for all generations. He too explained how to incorporate, not necessarily reinvent the wheel just tweak a few things ie more nature based activities in schools amounts to interest in ecology but less behavioural problems for all, leading to happier healthier adults, collectively smarter communities. Food and healthy land for the future generations.
It’s sad to think in the UK a third of teenagers are obese. The reality is the same in 🇦🇺. And too USA. It’s a fact people don’t want to admit to themselves. Obesity is responsible for many other chronic ( lifestyle) dis-ease issues like heart problems, high cholesterol and an array of auto immune conditions ie eating patterns. That in part only part can sometimes be attributed to crop pesticides and cheap convenience food. Yet we globally grow enough food to feed the population is shameful. Through our practices of waste, worse.
The authors have done a great deal of research and well put together regarding how the reader might contribute to a more sustainable future.

There’s no preaching however there’s no getting around it, communities that have green spaces and eat better, live healthier in that such habits are passed down. Exercise is encouraged together. Town planning benefits it’s citizens & individuals who feel respected in turn respect their locality with a sense of pride. Human nature drives outcomes ( and unfortunately it’s why gyms prevail as the outdoor space is not safe for women, children & pets always) so along with parks, lights & security a factor of 21 century is costly.
Still the potential for Harmony far outweighs “ a diseased planet” . A great book & one of my reads🙏🙏🙏

Well written & well read. HRH missed his true calling, teacher of common sense re the wonders of nature! A treasure of a book.
