We have a choice: Breakdown or Breakthrough. In THE CHAOS POINT revered author & systems theorist Ervin Laszlo tells us that we are at a critical juncture in history, a `decision-window` where we face both the danger of global collapse & the opportunity of worldwide renewal. According to Laszlo we have six to seven years to head off unsustainable trends that would lead to a `tipping point` beyond which there is no turning back. After this tipping point we either evolve to a safer, more sustainable world, or the social, economic & ecological systems that frame our life break down. This is the Chaos Point, but this need not be the end of the world, only the end of a phase of the world beyond which a new world could dawn. In today`s decision-window we have a unique chance of creating that new world & this pioneering book tells us what healing & renewal means, & how each of us can help in achieving it.
