‘By worshiping efficiency, we've managed to build an economic system that melted the Arctic ... Jeremy Rifkin argues that it's time to prioritize resilience instead ... I defy anyone not to be fascinated and provoked by the vision he unfolds!’ - Bill McKibben, Pioneer Climate Activist and Author

‘Jeremy Rifkin has always been ahead of the curve’ - Vandana Shiva, Environmental Activist and recipient of the Right Livelihood Award

'Every policy maker, politician, educator, civic and religious leader should heed his advice. Change at the magnitude needed to save the planet requires a global realignment in how we think. Fortunately, Rifkin has provided us with a detailed roadmap' - Ken Burns, Documentary Filmmaker

'Breaks ranks with the conventional economic wisdom that encourages unlimited economic development on a planet with finite natural resources. He suggests that we need to think of ‘nature as our classroom’ and reimagine every aspect of our existence - our concepts of time and space, economic life, governance, and even our notions of selfhood - so that life might flourish once again on Earth. This book invites us to engage in a radically new conversation about our species' future. It's long overdue' - Jane Goodall, Primatologist

The Age of Resilience: Reimagining Existence on a Rewilding Earth is a wide-ranging look at the political, economic and cultural effects of the global shift from an economy based on efficiency to one based on resilience.

Humans have long believed we could force the natural world to adapt to us; only now are we beginning to face the fact that it is we who will have to adapt to survive and thrive in an unpredictable natural world. A massive transformation of our economy (and with it the way we live our lives) has already begun. In The Age of Resilience, Jeremy Rifkin describes this great transformation and its profound effect on the way we think about the meaning of our existence, our economy, and how we govern ourselves as the earth rewilds around us.

In The Age of Resilience, Jeremy Rifkin―a world-renowned expert and global governmental advisor on the impact of technological changes on human life and the environment―has written the defining work on the impact of climate change on the way humans organize their lives.
