WorldShift 2012
by Ervin Laszlo (Author), Deepak Chopra (Foreword), Mikhail Gorbachev (Foreword)
A handbook for conscious change that could transform the current world crisis into planetary renewal.
- Outlines the problems that make today’s world prone to breakdown and suggests actions we must adopt in politics, business, and everyday life.
- Replaces the limited consciousness of our failing society with the holistic consciousness that is rooted in the Akashic field.
The deepening economic crisis and the threat posed by climate change and other social and ecological trends has caused many to despair. But with great danger comes great opportunity–the opportunity for fundamental change that will transform our societies from top to bottom. In WorldShift 2012, Ervin Laszlo brings together insights for creating sustainable positive change from spiritual leaders, scientists, and visionary businesspeople–people such as Albert Einstein, Mohammad Yunus, Václav Havel, Eckhart Tolle, Ken Wilber, David Korten, Paul Hawken, and Tomoyo Nonaka, former CEO of Sanyo Electronics. He shows how we can replace the limited consciousness of our failing society with the holistic consciousness that is reflected in the unified field of quantum physics: the Akashic field.
We have an opportunity to move from the current political and business model of grow or die to a sustainable world respectful of human beings, nature, and the planet. Change on this level calls for a profound shift in consciousness and a clear understanding that–as cutting-edge physics shows–we are truly connected with each other and with the cosmos. This book presents clear evidence of this connectedness and describes the tools we need to make our world greener and our planet safer as we strive to realize the holistic consciousness of connection through the Akashic field.

REVIEW
“This book will help us to evaluate the current situation of our planet and to find the path we must take.”
Mikhail Gorbachev
“Something is going to happen in 2012, but what that will be is up to us. That is why WorldShift 2012 is so significant as a handbook for this great change–it is the kind of positive cocreative script the world needs in order to conclude and regenerate the cycle on a successful evolutionary note.”
José Argüelles, Author of The Mayan Factor
“WorldShift is about an outer world built on inner realization. The higher consciousness that has been evolving through human beings for centuries is seeding a garden of hope and promise. Ervin Laszlo maps this new world and its promise–no one I know is more acutely attuned to it.”
Deepak Chopra
“Think-tank founder and prolific author, Laszlo simply uses the notion of the 2012 breakdown/breakthrough as a vehicle for the tranformation of the world… will appeal… to earth-conscious readers… “
Library Journal, Oct 2009
“[Laszlo] gives us a practical and achievable way to make our world greener and our planet safer by shifting our consciousness towards this view.”
