      Questo libro è il frutto dell’eccezionale collaborazione di Eckhart Tolle, un autentico maestro spirituale del nostro tempo, e di Patrick McDonnell, il creatore dell’acclamato fumetto MUTTS. Ogni pagina non solo riesce a trasmettere un profondo amore per la natura, per gli animali e per tutte le forme di vita in genere, ma ci obbliga a riflettere su noi stessi e sui vari aspetti, solo in apparenza insignificanti, della nostra quotidianità. Guardiani dell’Essere celebra, e ci ricorda, l’unicità dell’esistenza e la meraviglia e la gioia della bellezza di cui è ricolmo l’universo in cui viviamo.

    • Technokracja to idea zastąpienia tradycyjnych systemów ekonomicznych wolnorynkową ekonomią, rozwiniętą przez naukowców i inżynierów w latach trzydziestych XX wieku. Współczesne formy technokracji przybierają różne nazwy, takie jak zrównoważony rozwój czy zielona ekonomia. Wczesne definicje technokracji wskazywały na naukowe zarządzanie społecznymi mechanizmami w celu efektywnej produkcji i dystrybucji dóbr dla całej populacji, z wykluczeniem polityki i finansów. Technokracja zakłada likwidację prywatnej własności i gromadzenie zasobów w funduszu zarządzanym przez technokratów, którzy kontrolują wszystkie aspekty życia. Promowany przez Światowe Forum Ekonomiczne "Wielki Reset" zmierza do podobnych celów, sugerując, że „nie będziesz miał nic i będziesz szczęśliwy”. Transhumanizm, z kolei, opiera się na przekonaniu o możliwości znacznego rozszerzenia ludzkich zdolności poprzez nowoczesne technologie. Książka szczegółowo analizuje te transformacje, ich wpływ na życie zwykłych ludzi oraz proponuje środki zaradcze przeciwko technokracji i transhumanizmowi. Dedykowana młodym ludziom, ma na celu zainspirowanie ich do wyboru przyszłości, w której wolność i swoboda będą kluczowymi wartościami. Dla tych, którzy dostrzegają niepokój w otaczającym świecie, stanowi punkt wyjścia do refleksji i działania.
