Jakob von Uexkull founded the Right Livelihood Award and the World Future Council and has been working for decades to ensure we pass on a healthy and peaceful planet with just societies to current and future generations.
Von Uexkull liked to quote the following Asian proverb: “A falling tree makes more noise than a growing forest.” This book is an appeal to focus on the growing forest and to ensure that it continues to grow.
