As part of my reading curriculum while studying Environmental Studies, this book opened to me so many insights that I am (even after couple of years since I read it) so grateful for! Not only in the way of how to look at politics, economy and our environment (which he is exposing in - for me such an interesting new angle - the perspective of buddhism) but it has also this amazing quality of opening you the horizons inside yourself that are clearly indicating you what is the most important (or beautiful, or precious in life. It is a cherished book of mine and even though I am really happy to have read it in quite an early age, I have to say that I will surely return to it more times in my future life with a big passion and joy. Thank you, Mr. Schumacher!
