It provides insight into what gives life purpose and value, and how we can live fulfilling lives together through an ethic of love. This book fills a crucial void by reconnecting readers with this profound wisdom and, more importantly, reorienting our socio-economic institutions and collective actions toward greater compassion, care, and concern for the quality of our lived experiences. By rediscovering the gifts of love, we can challenge the prevailing dehumanization and draw upon the knowledge and understanding already present in our culture. This is particularly timely given the catastrophic global crises we are facing, particularly in the realm of climate change. Therefore, we must respond from a place of love rather than fear. Whether it's reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, lowering greenhouse emissions, making conscious food choices, or advocating for structural transformation, our collective efforts must begin with a deep appreciation of our well-being, which encompasses the well-being of the planet. This book offers a clear roadmap forward: by practicing the art of loving, we can ensure collective healing and co-flourishing with nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 454g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 x 140 x 26 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781839987618\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scherto Gill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44185055658234,"sku":"9781839987618","price":20.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1682085292663_book.jpg?v=1682144784","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/lest-we-lose-love-rediscovering-the-core-of-western-culture-9781839987618","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
