The message of this book is simple: if we all considered ourselves 'Earth Citizens' above any other markers of identity the world would be a better place. A simple and undoubtedly noble message, of course, but Lee's treatment of it is altogether disappointing: his philosophy is naïve and unnecessarily mystical, his manifesto is pretentiously jargonistic and unconvincing, and his few solid ideas have been stretched so far across the 68 pages that the work as a whole is ultimately vacuous (serving primarily, I suspect, as a justification for the soliciting of donations in the appendix). The basic idea is good, but everything has already been said by the end of the introduction. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Ilchi Lee's new book, Earth Citizen, is humanity's passport to a whole new world. In the book, Lee asks us to shed old identities that are illusionary and divisive, and to take on a new identity--Earth Citizen. It is through this simple shift in self-identification, he argues, that the world can find the answers to its many complex problems. Lee contends that while the cultures of the world may remain diverse, we are all united by our dependence on a single planet--the Earth. For this reason, he says we must all find a way to place the Earth at the center of our personal value systems. It is only by realizing our common humanity through the Earth that we may come together as one to create a peaceful and sustainable way of life on the planet.
