Let's be clear: any reading about the Anthropocene is a bummer. I had to make myself finish this book instead of staring at Instagram again because, let's face it, the world we've tried to master has turned into a trash fire, and it's humanity's fault. Andersson takes an interesting approach, treati......more
probably essential reading This book carries a simple message - 'Humans need to reconnect with the rest of non-human life forms' (my words - better to read the author's).

Unseen Beings is a magnificent, passionate, brilliantly written manifesto for our urgent reimagining of our relationship with every aspect of the creation before we destroy it and ourselves. Drawing on the latest scientific discoveries about animal and plant consciousness and also on indigenous wisdom and the truths of Tibetan Buddhism, Unseen Beings is that rarest of books – indispensable reading for anyone who longs for a just and balanced human future. Buy it and give it to everyone you know.
- Andrew Harvey, author of 'The Hope' and 'Radical Regeneration' with Carolyn Baker
"Unseen Beings is a profound and much-needed book that takes us beyond the important but numbing statistics of what’s occurring on our planet. Erik Jampa Andersson points out the underlying causes – our anthropocentrism and lack of awareness of the vital roles that unseen, but very much present, beings play in our lives – and the peril of ignoring them. He guides us toward practical ways to shift from our dualistic, selfish, human-centered fixation to include the interconnected web of all beings, seen and unseen. There is no more essential shift than this, and Erik Jampa Andersson has written a brilliant book that gives us a road map to true wholeness and recovery."
