World as Lover, World as Self : Courage for Global Justice and Ecological Renewal

World as Lover, World as Self: 30th Anniversary Edition, by Buddhist scholar and environmental activist Joanna Macy, is a work of ecological and spiritual philosophy addressing how to respond to the environmental crisis without succumbing to despair.

Drawing on the Buddhist concept of interdependent co-arising, Macy examines the mindsets of fear and greed that drive overconsumption and ecological destruction, and offers a path toward reconnecting with the natural world as a source of strength rather than grief.

Combining Buddhist teaching with decades of activism, the book has become a touchstone for environmentalists and continues to feel newly relevant three decades after its first publication.
