Publisher's summary

The Sacred Balance has a beautiful spirit.”—E.O. Wilson

With a new foreword from Robin Wall Kimmerer, New York Times-bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass—and an afterword from Bill McKibben—this special 25th anniversary edition of a beloved bestseller invites listeners to see ourselves as part of nature, not separate.

The world is changing at a relentless pace. How can we slow down and act from a place of respect for all living things? The Sacred Balance shows us how.

In this extensively updated new edition, David Suzuki reflects on the increasingly radical changes in science and nature—from the climate crisis to peak oil and the rise in clean energy—and examines what they mean for humankind. He also reflects on what we have learned by listening to Indigenous leaders, whose knowledge of the natural world is profound, and whose peoples are on the frontlines of protecting land and water around the world.

Drawing on his own experiences and those of others who have put their beliefs into action, The Sacred Balance combines science, philosophy, spirituality, and Indigenous knowledge to offer concrete suggestions for creating an ecologically sustainable future by rediscovering and addressing humanity’s basic needs.

Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute

PLEASE SEE: The Chapter designations are all wrong in this recording!!

Enjoying this book but there are errors in the sequencing of each chapter. I got as far as Chapter 9…. And then the recording starts to repeat Chapter 5- I’ve yet to hear if I can get to the end of the book and rather frustrated.

Audible: please work on your quality control and listen to the recordings you put out!!!! Thank you so much.

It’s Now or Never

What would the world be like today if thought and action had shifted as David Suzuki suggested 50 years ago? What will it be like in 10 years if the changes are still avoided? Let’s recalibrate our awareness meaning, community, and what is most valuable. Let’s restore the Sacred Balance Suzuki so clearly articulates. Now.
