Nature wants to heal itself, and we can help.

From the birth of galaxies to the revival of forests, the greatest transformations in our universe have been driven by quiet, self-reinforcing processes known as feedback loops. These ancient forces created the universe, they allowed biodiversity to proliferate, they gave rise to climate change, and the idea that we are separate, isolated selves. However, if we can stop resisting them, and begin to work with them, these immense natural forces can become powerful engines for social and ecological regeneration. Nature's Echo reveals how the mechanisms that shaped our world can also be the ones to revive it.

Drawing on cutting-edge ecological science, ancient philosophy, and gripping personal narrative from the frontlines of global restoration, Nature's Echo presents the scientific basis for environmental optimism. You'll discover: 

• How feedback loops drove everything from the explosion of life, to our own inner suffering.
• Why the illusion of a separate 'self' may be the root cause of our environmental crisis.
• How nature can rebound when we relieve the social inequality that degrades it.
• Why the knowledge that we can build a brighter future is a prerequisite for environmental success

For anyone who feels overwhelmed by the climate crisis and is searching for a path forward, this book replaces despair with grounded hope and conviction. Discover how millions of rural communities are reviving local nature to improve their own livelihoods; how customers are choosing sustainable products that are tipping entire industries into new states; and how efforts to address poverty are driving ecological recovery at massive scales. But most importantly, discover the personal agency that comes from the realization that we are not doomed to a bleak environmental future. Through this journey across the scales of existence, you will realize that we are not passive witnesses to planetary collapse, but active participants in the greatest regenerative opportunity in Earth’s history.

By tapping into ancient feedback loops, we have the power to drive the inner personal healing that can jumpstart massive environmental recovery.
