Über diesen Titel
Zen and Indigenous Hawaiian wisdom for navigating the timeplace of collapse—the highly-anticipated follow-up to When No Thing Works
With piercing clarity and poetic force, Zen teacher and Indigenous Hawaiian leader Norma Kawelokū Wong offers a profound call to reckon with what she calls the Human Quotient: 4 essential inner capacities—courage, compassion, aloha, and strategic wisdom—we must cultivate and embody to not just survive, but shepherd ourselves through an age of climate crisis, social fracture, and accelerating collapse.
Part visionary framework, part story-poem-instruction manual, Who We Are Becoming Matters invites readers into a deeper examination of how we grow, relate, and lead in times of uncertainty. Drawing on decades of Zen training, Indigenous Hawaiian knowledge, political strategy, and community practice, Wong explores the internal and collective shifts required to evolve with intention. Her teachings challenge us to release the logic of othering and splintering, to root ourselves in the mutual responsibilities of aloha and kuleana, and to step into the messy work asked of us in a timeplace of collapse.
Like the highly lauded When No Thing Works, Who We Are Becoming Matters is both balm and blueprint: it's a vital disruption of the status quo. It's a generative map for moving forward. And it's a realistic look at what it may take for humanity to evolve and embody the historic role of stewarding this urgent moment: we take the leap together, eyes wide open, and tend to the job placed before us.
Kritikerstimmen
"A tone poem that touches ancestral wisdom to teach us how to meet the present moment. It’s a meditation. Read slowly."
—The Reverend Canon Mpho Tutu van Furth, author of Forgiveness and Reparation and coauthor of Made for Goodness
"Such an extraordinary voice of prose and poetry that demands the reader’s attention. And what a profound and brilliant use of our attention. I am well-familiar with the teachings but I was riveted by Wong Roshi’s style that woke me up. Thank you."
—Margaret Wheatley, author of several books, including Restoring Sanity, Leadership and the
New Science, and Who Do We Choose to Be?
"Who We Are Becoming Matters reads like an invitation; a set of gentle nudges to think and act in radically different ways. It is in part an analysis of the current state of the world and in part a series of reflections on how to improve one’s daily practices so that life is better aligned with nature, ancestral wisdom and courageous dedication to a peaceful future. Activists, cultural workers, scholars, parents and spiritual leaders alike will find something in these pages that will affect our collective work to improve the human condition."
—Dr. Beth E. Richie, author of Arrested Justice and distinguished professor of criminology, law, and justice and Black studies and inaugural chair in the humanities and social sciences, University of Illinois at Chicago
"The future of our species and all species depends not only on what we do, but who we are and who we evolve to become. Norma Wong gives us practical and inspiring guidance for how to show up in this timeplace of collapse of everything we think we know. A prophet for our time, she instructs us in the necessity and pleasure of meeting this moment in history wide awake—with courage, community, compassion, spaciousness, creativity, and wisdom."
—Deepak Bhargava, president of The Freedom Together Foundation and coauthor of Practical
Radicals
"Wong Roshi’s follow up to When No Thing Works is so timely and needed given the startling speed at which systems and institutions continue to collapse. Who We Are Becoming Matters offers volumes of wisdom in an accessible and engaging form. Norma reminds us, consciously and with great care, to take the time to shift our own patterns and habits and lean into the full gifts of our humanity. In doing so, she presents an alternative to the chaos, inviting us instead to seize the opportunity found in the path of aloha. An enthusiastic 999-33-7777 (see chapter 6) is my response when asked if you should read this stellar book. While sharing my enthusiastic book review over breakfast with my husband, he replied, 'Ah, so this is not a how-to manual, it’s a how-to-become manual.'"
