This is a mind bending book; David Fideler manages to provide an avenue for a new way of thinking. Here he combines ancient history, classic philosophy, science, mathematics and theology to expand our thought process about the state of our world today. He asks us to re-examine the teachings of some of the greatest thinkers and theorists throughout history. We step outside our conditional thinking and instead begin to view life on earth from a state of removed humility, one in which we consider our absolute insignificance as individuals and instead see our existence and humanity tied to the whole. We examine the vastness of life, open ourselves to a more considerate way of existence and place our tiny selves into a collective, living universe. We contemplate how we exist as a part of a world that was created, functions and continues only through our acceptance of the laws of interconnectedness. Fideler’s book is definitely one to encounter not just once but over and over again. It takes away the everyday cynical, selfish world and replaces it with something that gives our breath a purpose.

Restoring the Soul of the World is a beautifully worded, well-researched book that resonated within this reader. Starting with Part II and accelerating to a magnificent finish, I found myself nodding, knowing that I was indeed part of the collective consciousness that recognizes this paradigm deeply within.
Why, then, if on some level I have known this all along did I rate the book a '3.5/rounded up to a 4 star' read? Because I almost never got to the sections that so affected me. It started out a very slow read. I read some. I set it aside. I slogged through another section . . . set it aside. Yes, in Part I, the author establishes a strong history which he weaves throughout the chapters and revisits at the end of the book, but I just wasn’t interested in ancient history and philosophy–literally, ancient history and philosophy. . . Medieval, yeah a little; Renaissance, maybe more so. Cosmology? YES! Our relationship with the nature world? Absolutely! And do I want communities in every town to develop and maintain Eco-Machines? Of course! Now!
My recommendation is to read the book, uneven as I found my interest to be. There are so many valuable messages in it. If the first several chapters don’t entice you, soldier on, for we are the Walking Wounded of our planet, and we must effect the change.

This book really resonated with me. David Fideler states "Nature itself is a dynamic unfolding power, yet it is also a power manifest in the human psyche. Deep within our being, our innermost nature is nature itself." Fideler's knowledge and extensive research on this topic is what really made this book so interesting to me. "Biomimicry" was a new topic for me and hopefully this practice will be more widespread. Nature is truly our mentor. I truly believe we can make a difference on this planet and it's never to late to begin harmonizing with Gaia. Thank you Gwen Faasen for gifting this book to me - it is one I will surely read again.

Great read!
It's a great read, in that it restores our soul to the world but also restores hope for a better future.
