HRH, The Prince of Wales 'Harmony': A New Way of Looking at Our World

Read Prince Charles' book now http://tinyurl.com/36e4vf8

A practical guide to what we have lost in the modern world, why we have lost it and how easily it is to rediscover. Harmony is a blueprint for a more balanced, sustainable world that the human race must create to survive.

For more than 30 years His Royal Highness Prince Charles The Prince of Wales has been at the forefront of a growing ecological movement. Originally treated with scepticism, many of his ideas are now widely accepted and gaining increasing impact and influence. His work has sought to meet a huge range of modern challenges, from urbanisation to deforestation. In every case, however, the philosophy that is the foundation of his work has always been the same, but has always been unspoken, until now.

For the first time, Prince Charles, with the help of his two leading advisors, has brought together his vast knowledge and experience to set out this philosophy - a philosophy that is as robust as it is practical.

In Harmony, Prince Charles looks at different aspects of our modern world to demonstrate how many of the challenges seen in areas as diverse as architecture, farming and medicine can be traced to how we have abandoned a classical sense of balance and proportion. From the rice farms of India to America's corn belt, Harmony spans the globe, dissecting the specific practices of modern life that have put us at odds with the world and showing how this imbalance manifests itself throughout our lives.

Harmony shows how the imbalance that has emerged is at heart of a crisis which now threatens our very civilisation. It tells the story of how our disconnection from Nature has contributed to the greatest crisis in the history of mankind and how seeking balance in our actions will return us to a more considered, secure, comfortable and cleaner world.

Drawing on his own practical experience, Prince Charles charts how changes to how we look at the world could lead us toward a better future. He describes how knowledge and perspectives now largely lost could help us meet very modern challenges, including in the built environment, engineering, medicine and farming.


HRH Prince Charles is first in line to the throne. His wide range of interests is reflected in 'The Prince's Charities', 20 not-for-profit organisations of which he is President. The organisations are active across areas including opportunity and enterprise, education, health and the built and natural environments. The Prince's concerns about developments in these fields have been elaborated in many speeches and articles but Harmony is the first time his philosophy has been explained.

When I was a younger man I looked at prince charles as part of a strange pseudo-elite which should be fought against. But now when I see this I feel really connected to his point of view, I regard things pretty much the same way. Thank you very much YRH I hope you reach enough people with your message because now is the time to change, to change deeply. And I wish for you that you dive deeper in your message yourself. God bless.

Brilliant. Good on you Prince....people say don't interfer with nature she will bring herself back into balance if we can just get out of the way...and stop polluting..but i agree with you...we have taken the destruction and the "taking" so far that now we MUST PUT BACK what we took..and at least come to a common agreement that we do have a problem..Get rid of words like "Global warming" etc. it just makes people fight and takes their eyes off of the real problem-pollution...period.

"It is easy to focus solely on the challenges, the worst case scenarios, the what-ifs of failure. But take a moment to consider the opportunities if we succeed: imagine a healthier, safer and more sustainable, more economically robust world. Remember that our children and grandchildren will ask not what our generation said, but what it did. So let us give an answer of which we can be proud."

fabulous. I'm looking forward to reading "Harmony"
