Written in the style of Fritjof Capra's The Turning Point: Science, Society, and the Rising Culture, with one critical difference: Medina includes discussions regarding the role of religion and spirituality in building a new society. Despite the progress of Western Civilization in economic, scientific, and other areas, a lack of corresponding progress with respect to spiritual life has left much of society feeling disoriented and unbalanced. Medina's insight sheds light on ways to address this imbalance. The ultimate goal of this examination is to present a path toward a prosperous global civilization that fulfills humanity’s physical, psychological, and spiritual needs.
