How to survive the climate Upheaval?
This book should be read not just by every politician, but by every person on the planet' Observer An urgent investigation of the most underreported, seismic consequence of climate change: how it will force us to change where - and how - we live We are facing a species emergency. With every degree of temperature rise, a billion people will be displaced from the zone in which humans have lived for thousands of years. While we must do everything we can to mitigate the impact of climate change, the brutal truth is that huge swathes of the world are becoming uninhabitable.
Nafis is a young man who opposes consumerism, prejudice, clichés, and negative human
behaviour toward animals, the environment, and nature.
Nafis to change this situation sets out on a journey of inner, spiritual, and personal development.
We are in the 21st century during the climate disaster, the IV technological revolution in the midst of the pandemic period.
All around him, there are conflicts and migrations caused by wars and climate change.
Nafis opens his eyes and begins his adventure, an adventure of inner rebirth and spiritual growth, together with some friends who, like him, are not accepting of seeing their land attacked.
His adventures to the edge of the mind and nature becomes a useful survival manual, full of socio-economic and political analysis; he contemplates and analyse issues such as the environment, climate, animals, health, beauty, feelings, love, emotions, ethical consumption, nutrition and wellbeing.
Nafis begins to understand the sweet voice of nature, and the rebellion of the ecosystem, climate change ... the importance of ecology in our life.
Thanks to practicing ancient disciplines in nature, like a warrior, Nafis wages a peaceful war with words as powerful as swords, to awaken ideas, emotions and the masses, rediscovering a wonderful world that needs to be defended, towards a new era.
Using scientific accuracy and dialectical simplicity, the author in this bestseller manages to explain a series of extremely topical, fundamental problems of our time, involving the environment and our being, as well as providing solutions through the lively and versatile mind of Nafis.
The extraordinary thing about this book is that, even if it appears to tell the story of a journey into knowledge and consciousness, in the ever-growing grasp of an awareness deeply rooted in its time and entwined with its problems, at the same time it leads into the abysses of a person's soul.
