With this remarkable work, Mr. Earley joins the tribe of those historians of culture and consciousness who seek to understand the meaning of the emergence of spirit through culture. This book provides an extraordinary spectrum of insight into who and what we are, where we have been, and where we may yet be. Beautifully written and filled with provocative ideas, it is a feast for the mind and a much-needed journey for the soul.
--- Jean Houston, author of The Possible Human and Journey to the Beloved

Jay Earley has written a book of clarity and compassion, an important call for the human species to take the next, essential evolutionary step. Both Sides Now provides a vast panoramic perspective on the story of humankind. Not flinching from confronting our present destructiveness, Earley provides a fundamentally positive vision, free of blame and full of hope.
--- Andrew Bard Schmookler, author of The Parable of the Tribes

I know of no other book that is as complete in its story about how we got to where we are and what must be done about it. Earley’s argument is well ordered and is consistent with all the information I have about where human society is in its evolutionary history. If one were to supplement this book with the chief references to which the author directs us, the result would be a remarkably comprehensive picture of our present global dilemma and its resolution.
--- Willis Harman, President of the Institute of Noetic Sciences

At last! Both Sides Now is the best transformative book I’ve read yet, a holistic, comprehensive, readable and positive projection of our options for the future. While recognizing the ecological, economic, and social failures of our current dominant EuroAmerican culture, Earley doesn’t dwell in doom and gloom but shows a clear choice we can make to build a participatory, holistic, communal, and sustainable system of cultures for a humane future.
--- Bill Ellis, editor of Tranet

There is no task more important than making sense of the at once profound and unsettling times in which we live. In Both Sides Now, Jay Earley places today’s world in the larger story of culture and gives us tools for writing that story’s next chapter. An important and absorbing work.
--- Charles Johnston, author of The Creative Imperative

We now know that only a complete rethinking will enable us to make the changes we so urgently require. Jay Earley provides his own overview in ways which help us see the sweep of change and some of the necessities of the future.
