As a species and a culture, we are so ready for a new way of being. The new age is not just arriving—it’s here.

This book came about entirely by accident (from my perspective). I didn’t plan to write it—certainly not based on an offhand (but funny) joke I made on a Sunday afternoon at a workshop I was leading. But by Monday, I was writing, and I kept writing every day until seven days later, the book had finished itself.
