In his last work as an author, celebrated doctor and psychotherapist Claudio Naranjo uses The Revolution We Expected to make a final call to humanity to awaken to our collective potential and work to transcend our patriarchal past and present. The book presents a map that argues not only for collective individual awakening but a concerted effort to transform our institutions so that our educational and cultural lessons are in service to a better world. The author targets traditional education and our global economic system that increasingly neglect human development and must transform to meet the needs of future social evolution. He stresses the need for education to teach wisdom over knowledge and he suggests meditation and contemplative practices can help us realize new ways to learn. Ultimately, we need to embark on a collective process of re-humanizing our systems and establishing self-awareness as individuals to create the necessary global consciousness to realize a new way forward.

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
Отрывок из книги
“In The Revolution We Expected, Naranjo syntheses his lifelong study of ancient philosophy and humanistic psychology, then offers a hopeful path forward, beyond a society ruled by dogma, greed, authoritarianism, and narcissism. He envisions a future that begins with generosity, self-awareness, and a culture that nourishes those qualities in our children.

“No!” responded the wise man immediately, quickly adding, “It will fall off by itself.”
Since hearing this application of the joke to spiritual work, I have often repeated it myself, to thereby transmit a conviction that when self-awareness is sufficiently deep, our problematic quirks of character lose power and end up transforming into abilities that serve our best intentions. However, until recently I had never laid hands on this anecdote as an explanation of the sociopolitical problem of our world in crisis. This is because it is a novelty for us to be witnessing the beginning of a spontaneous crumbling of that patriarchal power to which we can attribute practically all the evils of the civilized world.
