The Wise Man & The Story of Plenty

The Wise Man & The Story of Plenty is a nonfiction book that explores the relentless journey of Homo sapiens—humanity—in a world of abundance. A world we sought to dominate and exploit, but in our pursuit, brought it to the brink of collapse. Disconnected from nature, we have unleashed a cascade of issues, all converging into a single planetary crisis that threatens our own survival.

Embark on a journey that will allow you to witness how it all began, reflect on where we stand today, and, hopefully, inspire you to shape what comes next.

You will never look at our planet in the same way again

About the Book

The eye-opening and timely story of humanity’s rise and dominance over the natural world, and its subsequent awakening that it is not about saving the planet, but saving ourselves.

Both invigorating and thought-provoking, this narrative offers a fresh, holistic perspective on the planetary crisis, connecting the dots and demonstrating that change is possible by rethinking our relationship with nature.
