What is to be done? No challenge summons this question more urgently than the global challenge of transitioning to clean, efficient, and renewable energy sources. This is the question that the authors have set out to answer. Over the course of eight probing conversations, the authors consider the strategies that will point toward a sustainable future and the changes of heart and mind that will inspire the will and strength to achieve it. The authors urge readers to build a future based on a deeper appreciation for the shared humanity and the planet.

“Knowing Our Worth is a charming discussion between a German environmental scientist and a Japanese Buddhist thinker . . . They propose an Asian-European alliance toward a “new enlightenment” that would combine the ideas from science and religion that are most critical for humanity today and in the future.” —Neva Goodwin, Co-director, Global Development and Environment Institute, Tufts University
“Drawing from great Asian and European civilizations, this book distills valuable and practical insights on sufficiency through efficiency, simplicity, public purpose, and civic responsibility.” —Amory B. Lovins, coauthor, Factor Four
“This wonderful dialogue between Daisaku Ikeda and Ernst Ulrich von Weizsacker embraces the emergence of planetary awareness among citizens worldwide . . . Knowing Our Worth will remain a valuable guide to rising generations of global citizens in all countries as they join together to create humane societies beyond market fundamentalism, GDP-fetishism, commercialism, and mindless consumption.” —Hazel Henderson, author, Ethical Markets
