Why can't we solve our problems anymore? Why do threats such as the Gulf oil spill, worldwide recession, terrorism, and global warming suddenly seem unstoppable? Are there limits to the kinds of problems humans can solve? Rebecca Costa confronts - and offers a solution to - these questions in her highly anticipated and game-changing book, The Watchman's Rattle.

A truly insightful look at our lives, our society, and our direction
Revisado: 03-01-17
Rebecca just breaks it all down so succinctly. Starting with her analogy of the Geopolitical condition of the Mayan civilization and it's demise, she connects the dots to illustrate how we behave in the same manner. Not only how, but why we behave as we do. Both then and now.
She diagrams out in very easy to understand terms, the way our brain compartmentalizes and manages (and or doesn't), problems and issues that are really just to big for us to handle.
For me, this book was a page turner, an "ah ha" generator, and served as call to be cognizant of my process and actions. Now that I know what I am looking for that is 😀
The book is in no way a doomsday project, but rather a catalyst for growth and change on both personal and global levels.
Loved this book!
