Born in Israel in 1945, Benjamin Katz fought in two wars and settled in Denmark in 1972. He studied psychology at the University of Copenhagen and has been practicing as a clinical psychologist since 1980, treating more than thirty thousand clients throughout the years. He is the author of twelve books. (See book list including this one. Most of them deal with the urgent need for us to evolve further in the future to survive and prevail.) Two aspects have attracted his attention in the last twenty years: the deteriorating mental and physical state of human beings adjusting to modern life or rejecting it, and the state of the planet that has gone from bad to worse. Once he figured out that the sharp decline of the mental and physical health of so many people is caused by our unhealthy lifestyle, lack of global sustainability, lack of foresight/oversight in global affairs leading to our deteriorating climate and living conditions, he found his mission: to define a new, evolved vision that aims to eliminate these factors. In this vision, he strongly rejects crucial aspects which constitute preconditions to our current well-being, such as modern lifestyle and its excesses, stressors, and crazy trafficking; the deterioration of global ecology due to consumerism, pollution and an unsustainable global economy; and demography and spirituality. Instead of this failed global conduct, he presents sustainable values, practices, global governance, and purposeful efforts to enable us to evolve beyond our mental limitations, shortcomings, and blind spots, which, if not altered, will become our doom.
